In this video, we take a closer look at the phenomenon of bridges wobbling and use the Millennium Bridge as a case study. Using a full Blender model, we explore how this iconic bridge moved laterally on its opening day in 2000, leading to its temporary closure. We delve into the science behind why bridges wobble, discussing factors such as resonance, frequency, and damping, and how these contribute to the movement of a bridge. We also discuss the engineering solutions that can be employed to minimize or eliminate bridge wobbling, ensuring the safety and stability of these important structures. Whether you're a bridge enthusiast or simply curious about the science of structural engineering, this video is sure to fascinate information. So, sit back, relax, and join us on this fascinating journey into the world of bridge wobbling.
