The primary objective of the examination is to obtain an accurate diagnosis as a basis for a report. 2000 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston | Failure Case Studies The Collapse of "Galloping Gertie" 1940: Pierce County, Washington The Tacoma Narrows Bridge, also known as "Galloping Gertie," was a 2,800 foot long bridge that opened in 1940. << endobj A total of 14 people were injured and three were killed. /F7 26 0 R /XObject << 0 0 0 0 0 0 333 0 0 0 >> /S /Transparency /MediaBox [0 0 612 792] >> Additionally, the tank itself was never properly tested.

Additionally, the building was originally designed in two halves, with one side only two stories and the other side three stories. During construction, the blue reflective glass used for the building started to fall off from various heights, forcing police to close off the area around the building. Thus, it was concluded that the main reason behind the occurrence of cracks in the building was due to the effect of a large movement of the order of 102 mm. Most subcontracts were given directly by the owner to the subcontractors and bypassed the general contractor. /Font << CASE STUDY: CONCRETE FAILURE - BRIDGES - LinkedIn The brickwork was finished up to the sixteenth floor, and the structure was generally encased from the second to the fifteenth floor.
