Discuss the cause of the Tacoma bridge disaster‚ in terms of waves‚ vibrations‚ and resonance. Elaborate the effects with relevant equations and formulae. The Tacoma bridge collapse can be attributed to the waves caused by the buildup of energetic vibrations. These energetic vibrations were built up from the bridge “taking energy from the steadily blowing wind” (Crowell). Eventually enough of these energetic vibrations built up to cause resonance within the system‚ causing the wave-like motion

Architecture has geometry written all over it if geometry never existed Architecture wouldn’t have existed either. First of all geometry is the reason that we can calculate and measure the sizes and shapes of certain structures for us to use. Geometry allows us pin point exactly how much more we may need or less ‚ without
