US/Canada face massive bridge infrastructure costs after new technology shows massive structural issues

[BackInTheGame78]

US/Canada have the worst bridges in the world in terms of the condition they are in, followed by Africa.

Let that sink in for a second. Africa has better bridges than the US and Canada do.

In recent times, advanced satellites using radar imaging are giving scientists a powerful new way to watch over the world’s bridges.

A type of radar called Synthetic Aperture Radar can reveal structural displacements as small as a few millimetres and signal early structural problems long before inspectors notice them, say researchers from the University of Houston.

Now, a global analysis of 744 bridges reveals that bridges in North America, which were mostly built in the 1960s, are in the poorest condition, followed by those in Africa.

Satellite images reveal which bridges around the world are at highest risk of collapse

It won't be OVER for CivilEngineeringCels.

If we fixed our bridges we couldn't afford warmongering.

 

[FlexpertHamilton]

i'm not surprised, the US has some of the shvttiest infrastructure in the world

Wonder if how solid this analysis is... Are we going to be reading a story a few days from now indicating that this subject is a wee bit more complex("SOME bridges in North America are in 3rd World shape") than what's being presented here?

It will be unless they hide their profession. Women HATE engineers.

Bridge infrastructure has been a huge issue here in the US for decades at this point. It doesn't surprise me and there's no mandate or interest to ever try and address it. Kick it down the road until it falls down.

Easier to create 15 minute cities if the bridges don't work.

disagree. women love engineers. other men don't always like engineers.....

The empowered women can maintain the bridges now. Where is feminism when you need it?

I've dated multiple women who have complained about their social skills. They have a rep for being on the spectrum, although as with anything exceptions exist.

i have to tell you. there are some guys in the spectrum that women love. women forgive social skills if they are interested. many guys in the spectrum have allot of things going for them; except that one thing... that cute awkward thing works when she is interested. the key for the spectrum guys is to NOTICE she is interested. and your right also, some women prefer a different type. plenty to go around for all.
