14:33 I attended the bridge's 50th anniversary in 1987. When the bridge operators approved the temporary closure to vehicles, they estimated 50,000 would attend. The actual number was estimated at peak, close to 800,000 had come, far more than could even fit on the bridge. You can find photos that show masses of people stretching back on to land, unable to reach the span. I attempted to cross the bridge - end to end. It was so crowded that after two hours, I only made it from the toll booths to mid span. The sag was visible. Could you imagine if the cables snapped, killing several hundred thousand? Even though the bridge held up fine, the bridge operators said they will NOT repeat such an event.

@gregparrott
@gregparrott Рік тому
@@PaschanTOPs My bet is that they won't. On many levels, the '87 celebration was too great a safety hazard. While I am unaware of any deaths, I did see a paramedic team try to take someone out on a stretcher. People did their best to get out of the way, but it was dismally slow. Bridge operators and the city of S.F. can't risk another 'open house' on the span. Maybe they'd close it for a televised parade - like the Thanksgiving Macy's parade down Fifth avenue. The center would be cordoned off to pedestrians, but a long stretch of the roadway beyond either side of the bridge is also closed to traffic. This enable all attendees yo view the parade.

@hyliedoobius5114
@hyliedoobius5114 Рік тому
Joseph Strauss was officially the Chief Engineer, based primarily on his long history of building drawbridges throughout the country. But for the GGB, Strauss had absolutely no involvement with its design. The suspension design was proposed by Leon Moisseiff, a Latvian immigrant who had been involved on other large suspension bridges in New York, and it was he who had the idea of an elegant suspension bridge. The real brains behind turning the concept into a well-designed structure, however, belongs entirely to Charles Ellis, a meticulous structural engineer who personally made all the static and dynamic load calculations, including solving some equations with 37 variables…all done without the benefit of computers. Strauss became so irritated with the attention Mr. Ellis was getting from the press and other engineers that Strauss canned him. It wasn’t until the 75th anniversary of the bridge’s completion in 2013 that a plaque was installed on the bridge to honor Charles Ellis as the true designer.

Fun fact. The Golden Gate Bridge undergoes constant maintenance. There is a crew that works from one end of the bridge to the other. They repair and replace rusted out pieces and repaint as they go. This is a never ending loop. When they reach the end the crew goes back to the other side and begins the process all over again.

Every time there is a maintenance crew working on the bridge. What they do is they paint the bridge every year, starting on one side, ending the year on the other side.

Great video presentation. They forgot to include the bridge road to be slightly arched, like an old arch bridge design. It may lessen the tension of the cables and reduce damage when the road deck steel expands. When the finger expansion has no more room for expansion, the steel road deck will push horizontally and may damage the two towers. When the road deck is slightly arched, it will just push up to lessen compression. The designers are very smart. It's a combination of an arch bridge and a suspension bridge.

It's mainly to avoid 'slump' when the load is very heavy. It becomes level when maximum load is on it.......except when 300K people were on in. Slump of 6 meters is huge, but it didn't apparently crack! (I would LOVE to know the concrete mix and steel usage that held w/o cracks). Along with this bridge, the Empire State Building is on the list of top 7 (ASCE) civil engineering wonders of the world. The ESP was built, and open for business in just 14-1/2 months, during the depression, followed by W2....leaving the owners with no profit until early 1950's.

Additional facts: At the time of the Golden Gate Bridge's construction, no steelworks on the West Coast could produce components large enough to construct the towers, so they were shipped via the recently finished Panama Canal from the East Coast (New York specifically I belive) The Red color originally was to be a temporary coat to protect the bridge while a final color could be chosen (the navy suggested yellow/black stripes for visibility reasons) but it was stuck with as the locals were fond of it The Bridge was constructed with an unprecedented (for the time) emphasis on worker safety, to the point as far as I'm aware there was only one fatal accident during construction.
@officialnickname
@officialnickname 11 місяців тому
Says on Wikipedia that apart from this one fatal accident, there was also a constructive part with 10 people on in, that fell into the net. The net didn't hold up, so all of them fell to their death. Still those 11 deaths were far below the 36 fatalities they estimated before construction.

They give Strauss far too much credit here (a common mistake)! Strauss did come up with the concept of bridging the golden gate, and was its chief promoter, a herculean task in itself! However, he primarily designed cantilever bridges and did not have the engineering experience to create the suspension bridge that was built. Charles A. Ellis was the primary engineer. Also, they show the traffic flowing in the wrong direction on the bridge. Our steering wheels are on the left in San Francisco!😂 Other than that, a very interesting video!

Yes, when I reached the 6:17 mark, I thought, "The cars are driving the wrong way!" (^: Digital effects might have been created in the UK or some other country where they drive on the left. If built today with polymers, it could be a cable-stayed bridge. But the people might revolt about that. Or they could make it with lighter materials and have the same design, but towers closer to the shore to save money. It costs a lot to maintain this bridge so they might replace it some day.

No - Strauss was not the actual engineer of this bridge. He has credit bestowed upon him that he does not deserve. Had it not been for the work of Charles Ellis, the bridge would have been nothing but a twinkle in Strauss's eye. Ellis did all the stress calculations, and made many engineering decisions that Strauss got credit for. Ellis was a distinguished mathematician and structural engineer; Professor of Engineering at the University of Illinois. Ellis Hall, on the Engineering campus, was named for him. There would be no bridge without his work.
