What an awesome series.
None of the "Extreme-Mega-Super-Nonsense" of nowadays showbiz documentaries.

Geometry, vectors, loads, yield strength, and section areas are the engineer's toolbag.

Compression and tension depends on what kind of force pull push the bridge, from top bottom, or 压缩，压强，压降力, 热藏冷缩力量，and wind direction, 气流

Everything

Earth quake and difference types of energy and force, no material is good at anything, such as build, durability, sustainability
