Stonecutters Bridge, the evolution of bridges

What you’ll see today is not a normal bridge, is the Stonecutters Bridge, which is the second longest cable-stayed bridge in the world.

The evolution of the bridges, following the many mistakes over the years, has led to improve the technological level: with the advent of the wind tunnel have been able to do experiments on the effects of wind resonance within the structure of a bridge, scales to be used for models of testing and verification.
