Carefully?How do you test for a 1000 foot ship loaded with how many thousands of tons of cargo hitting a tower?

If they don't post how do you know they're on the board? I'm curious.
The thing I clicked on wouldn’t come up - I got some weird error, and didn’t get to see anything.Very good observation![]()

I did something for Brenda (it was a surprise B so I needed you to investigate on your own) and the only way it could have been accessed was by seeing my post and then clicking the link. I can see who accesses it.
As soon as I saw the lurker I removed it, sorry. It was just some thing I thought to do, it's no major loss.The thing I clicked on wouldn’t come up - I got some weird error, and didn’t get to see anything.
They use a Load and Resistance Factor Design standard but it was only widely implemented in the US around the 1980s.How do you test for a 1000 foot ship loaded with how many thousands of tons of cargo hitting a tower?
Considering Baltimore is a major shipping port with critical bridges over the water I would hope so. Then there is the dingus factor of the ship crew. I know in many ports the port authority is the one that pilots the ships in and out.They use a Load and Resistance Factor Design standard but it was only widely implemented in the US around the 1980s.
When I designed my bridge, I relied heavily on computer calculations to predict potential loads. It was essentially a fill in the blanks application. I'm assuming engineers still use the same principle but with a more sophisticated method. Any new tech variables will have to be factored in manually, like how heavy and sturdy new ship materials are now... so there's a certain human calculation involved, if the engineer in charge has considered thinking outside of the programming and is well versed on current events![]()
There's a guy with a triangular AV that takes screenshots of posts. From what I observed, he mostly lurks but I found out about it when he posted copies of the screenshots for the deleted posts when moutina was tracking down some gossip.As soon as I saw the lurker I removed it, sorry.

The problem, is that when new safety standards are implemented on structures, it isn't necessarily implemented on the pre-existing structures, hence the current collapse. Fixing those doesn't take priority for some reason, multiple tragedies has to happen before action is considered...Considering Baltimore is a major shipping port with critical bridges over the water I would hope so.

Sort of like asbestos industry regulations were implemented in the 1930s but it wasn't actively banned until 60 years later when there were already casualties... imma stop rambling now![]()
Of course*coughcough*money*coughcough*cross your fingers*coughcough*
You're not American, are you?Of course
But the way I see it, you guys pay toll fees at bridges right? Or at least its part of the commuter/road tax, and those are supposedly for maintenance, yes? I would say adding to the structural integrity qualifies as maintenance so it doesn't collapse and becomes unusable... like that key bridge is now![]()
Nope, I'm Filipina but living in the UKYou're not American, are you?
Okay so you may have missed my snark about American infrastructure...Nope, I'm Filipina but living in the UK![]()
Nope, but I'm stubbornly advocating for sanity against capitalismOkay so you may have missed my snark about American infrastructure...
Don't pick on my home city...Which part, the massage or that RJ is from Philadelphia 0.0?
I'm not scary. I'm just a pussycatEverything about RJ is terrifying, but I'm referring to the bridge collapse.
awww *huggles* i don't know much about the US so nothing I say carries weight, I promiseDon't pick on my home city...
You Chinese? That's the closest, sanest sounding one I think.Happy New Year
You're alive! Alloooooo! *glomps*Happy New Year![]()
Wifey Kathy is also from there and we were married there.awww *huggles* i don't know much about the US so nothing I say carries weight, I promise
No its the 1st post I've made this yearYou Chinese? That's the closest, sanest sounding one I think.![]()
