Sure, why not?A century after construction![]()
Think outside of the box.Even then, what if the plates are moving in another direction, like rubbing against each other in opposite directions, adding that extra length wouldn't be all that much of a help then.
(But then again I do not know this area of science all that well.)
All that would be needed is adjustment areas. These would allow for movement, expansion and contraction.
That would be one long span!Just need giant pivots on each end.
A big oops.I have visions of the Golden Gate bridge, when the wind starts a certain wave-length "aggitation".![]()
The video is really amazing when you see it self destruct.
A good engineering lesson on how not to design a bridge.Ah yes. Good old Tacoma Narrows bridge, eh.![]()
