bridge girder collapses
was wondering if anyone has a database listing of bridge girder collapses during installation/stressing - say over the last 3 to 5 years? i think that there were two in us this year so far but wasn't able to find the threads about them. your kind assistance is greatly appreciated.
there was an awful lot of conversation, with links to local newspaper accounts regarding the collapse of a beam over i-70 just west of denver, back around the end of last year, but i did not produce the thread with a search on the words colorado, dot, or i-70.
maybe someone else knows what thread that is, and can pitch in here.
