Why are you throwing shade at civil structural engineering?
Do all bridges we build need to be able to withstand the force of an entire shipping container bridge hitting it at high speed? What planet should an engineer think that a shipping container has managed to veer off course so badly that they hit a bridge at full speed, fully loaded? That is a sad and significant outlier event.
- dghlsakjg 3y agoThis is a common joke in engineering. It’s not meant to be an insult, but a compliment noting that engineers know what the essential parts of the bridge are
- boringg 3y agoI suspected it might be but I couldn't tell from the post. There is a lot of self deprecating humor amongst engineers / engineering programs.
