Why the Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapsed
Wind can be one of the most critical and complicated loads on civil structures. The case of the Tacoma Narrows bridge is a well-known cautionary tale that’s discussed in engineering and physics classrooms across the world. Both resonance from vortex shedding and aeroelastic flutter contributed to the failure. When you push the envelope, you ...

On November 7, 1940, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge didn’t just collapse. It rewrote the rules of engineering forever. Captured on film by Barney Elliott, this footage shows a moment no one had ever seen before: a steel suspension bridge moving like water. The cause wasn’t an earthquake. It wasn’t faulty materials. It was wind interacting with structure in a way engineers didn’t yet understand. This disaster revealed a critical truth: Bridges don’t fail only from weight. They can fail from motion. Th
