@amazeifystore: Could a thin steel plate decide whether a bridge stands or fails? ⚠️ In the Minneapolis I-35W investigation, the NTSB found gusset plates at nodes U10 and L11 were undersized in the original design. These often-overlooked connections transfer forces between members, so their thickness, geometry, and load capacity matter enormously. If you were inspecting this bridge, would you start with the beams or the connections? Comment your answer, then share this with someone who looks twice at the details. 🏗️ #StructuralEngineering #BridgeEngineering #CivilEngineering #BridgeInspection #GussetPlate #EngineeringFailure #Infrastructure #NTSB #Minneapolis35W #ConstructionSafety
