To FIGG Bridge Engineers, Inc.:
10. Train your staff on the proper use of Pc (the permanent net compressive force normal to the shear plane) when calculating nominal interface shear resistance.
Pretty humiliating. I wonder how bad the damage is to FIGG.
- slenk 7y agoI bet they change their name after the story, like the new Magnum did (from NYT article)
- pnako 7y agoThey can always rebrand as FIGG Demolition. I get that mistakes do happen but this was a bloody footbridge...

- waterpond95 7y agoI'm puzzled that they are not pressing charges against FIGG or specific members of staff. Are they not liable for criminal negligence?
