Re: Speculating on the SFSJ bridge


 

This bridge of similar construction over Dusy branch shows a minor twist on the upstream side, since quite some years. Possibly caused by logs?

Most plausible failure mechanism to me is an extremely heavy, wet snow load that got lopsided as the upstream side melted, twisting the bridge until it buckled. Might have been aided by a strong wind coming downstream.

But I'd love to hear what the pros say when they get in there!

Seems plausible some dynamic force is the cause but hard to imagine an avalanche was the culprit as there is no damage to even the smallest of trees in the photos.?
