I'd love to see a few examples, since you're so versed on the subject. I'm not a civil engineer by any means, but I imagine the people who designed and built that bridge knew what they were doing. There are likely limitations imposed by the site bathymetry and other things we don't know about.
You can get a good look at the aftermath here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WssFXRzRVLU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WssFXRzRVLU
I'll be interesting to see how they choose to rebuild it.
- KoftaBob 3y agoThere are real world examples of what it would look like, they're called "dolphins": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin_(structure)#/media/Fil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin_(structure)#/media/Fil... "The new bridge is protected by 36 dolphins: four large dolphins protecting the two main pylons supporting the cable-stayed main span plus 32 smaller dolphins protecting bridge piers for 1⁄4 mi (1⁄2 km) to either side of the main span"
