PASSAGE
(1) Bridges must be designed to withstand more than just the weight of the traffic they carry. (2) Wind can push and twist a bridge with a force as dangerous as any heavy load. (3) In 1940, a newly opened suspension bridge in Washington State began twisting violently in a steady wind and soon collapsed into the water below. (4) Engineers who studied the failure found that the bridge's thin, solid deck had caught the wind much like a sail. (5) Since then, designers have given bridge decks open frameworks or streamlined shapes that let wind slip past instead of pushing against a flat surface.
