Wazuans,
I have been using this bridge for a while mostly in the morning. Yesterday I noticed that it shakes so badly. I noticed this when there was traffic and I had stopped right at the top of the overpass. Has someone else ever experienced this? Is it by design or its a flaw? With those huge concrete support pillars I am really surprised. I expect that the bridge should be fixed in its place. The only 'movement' I expect should be due to expansion/contraction which shouldn't be noticeable. Architects/Mechanical engineers, what is your take?

Are you serious that you directed that question to Architects and Mechanical Engineers???

You even don't deserve an answer, its evident you won't get it! Just WACHANA NAYO!

We never shared a class @Murchr so wacha kejeli. I doubt you would have beaten me in academics unless if you were an A+ student. I was a marking scheme in physics all the way to campo. I talked about allowance for expansion/contraction in my post think that is form 1 or 2 physics. There are those joints to allow for 'horizontal movement'(expansion/contraction). I was asking why a reinforced rigid pillar fixed and reinforced into the earth feels like its swinging sideways. Its like KICC acting like a pendulum. Unless if there are rollers between the pillars and those horizontal structures that form the tarmac.

Plus I don't expect the shaking to result from the cars moving under the bridge. Maybe a trailer/train would. A vitz/note cannot. The shaking would most probably be caused by the heavy cars moving on the bridge or wind..
