I don’t think there’s a better example in history where all the various factors of a technical problem converged into a singular solution in this way. I love cable-stayed bridges. Happy Valentine's Day!

On the surface, this seems like a silly problem, almost elementary. It’s just dirt! But I want to show you why it’s a slow-moving catastrophe with implications that span the globe.

The wild story of Washington Bridge in Providence, Rhode Island.
Just like engineers design structures to be ductile, to fail with grace and warning, we want and need projects like this to happen in an orderly fashion. We should be able to recognize when replacement is necessary, plan ahead for the project, do a good job informing the public, and execute the job on a timeline that doesn’t require panic, chaos, and emergency contracts. The Washington Bridge is a perfect case study in why that’s so important.

The story of mine subsidence is the story of so many things in engineering - addressing the difficulties we used to just ignore. This is a real issue that causes real damages today, but it’s also an issue that a lot of people put a great deal of thought, effort, and ultimately resources into so that we can strike a balance between protection against damage to property and the environment and obtaining the resources that we all depend on.
