Architectural Bling
July 10th, 2009 | 
Author: Even though I was told recently that real engineers design buildings not bridges (the view a side effect of the long standing structures vs. civil schism) — and I have a strong disdain for Dubai’s nouveau riche gaudiness — it would be a fun to work on one of these super-bridges. Long-span structures make it economical to use curvilinear members, which are a nice challenge to engineer — we get to break out our calculus (otherwise rarely used) and tailor members very specifically to the loads involved.
