Article Description| Engineers are using lessons learned from London’s Millennium Bridge, notorious for wobbling on its opening day, to prevent an unwelcome repeat situation on a slender, curved new cable-stayed structure nearing completion in Turin, Italy. In the absence of design codes for pedestrian-induced sway, the new bridge’s designer asked engineers of the London structure to devise a damping system. |
