Last night, I watched "The Lost Angle," a recently released short documentary from Grit City Magazine in Tacoma that features a previously unknown 8 mm film (discovered at a local estate sale) that captured the infamous 1940 collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
Via Grit City Magazine: "From this new angle, you get a better feeling of the scale of the whole thing, especially when the main span collapses."

This highlights the need for weather-related inspection triggers to supplement the regular schedule. #ClimateChange threatens structural foundations that were assumed to be secure. #CivilEngineering

You ever DRIVE 55 through... an ART EXHIBIT??? - Road Guy Rob
The Merritt Parkway, one of America's oldest and most beautiful freeways. How did it come to be and can we make more freeways like it?

I am glad to know who is responsible for these #math concepts I take for granted. I got my first #calculator in 7th grade. Our math #teacher warned us not to rely on #calculators because "Sometimes they're wrong!" One of my #CivilEngineering #professors used a #SlideRule to show the importance of understanding the quantities we're working with rather than blindly accepting the results from a #computer. One #typo can lead to disaster. I now have my own slide rule.

Here’s an incredible video from the agencies responsible for building it.

My mind cringes considering how things will go once #Autodesk or #Bentley start pushing out tools to create designs using a design equivalent to LLMs.
I'm sure it's coming.

That was the interest that got me into #CivilEngineering in the first place, but I didn't even know my office had them when I started there as an intern in 2001. Now I've been there forever, and have grown up to be "the guy" for mine, though I have several younger coworkers who are happily learning fast! 2/2

Starting a new newsletter for Data enthusiasts: The Data Voyage.
This newsletter is for anyone who has a passion for data, works with it or aspires to work with it in the future.
In this newsletter, I will share with you my insights and experiences on topics such as statistics, operations research, data analysis, and more. I will also showcase some of the ‘cool’ projects that I am working on or learning from. And often I would pick a topic and explore it, through data.
In this post, I have explored the core engineering jobs situation in India and the hurdles, and why one should think twice before pursuing them. All backed by data, not intuition.
