I read about Tacoma narrows bridge from Encyclopedia. I was looking for a research about the example of bridge collapsing. Tacoma narrows bridge collapsing is one of the bridge destructions. It was suspension bridge and completed in July 1940. However, unfortunately four months later, the bridge collapsed because of winds. It was replaced in 1950 by the different method of constructions. This site gave me useful information including the video which showed me the real situation. The video allowed me to comprehend easily. Moreover, I felt that I have to study harder not to happen anymore as one of the civil engineers. In conclusion, the cause of this bridge was winds, so I can use it as a one of the cause of collapsing. I will find another case of collapsing and damages of it.
