Why Golden Gate Bridge CANNOT collapse
206Can a major earthquake collapse the Golden Gate Bridge? Watch this video to find out!
Here's an ACTUAL bridge simulation: https://youtu.be/i-BB-8GZxOA
As of July 2008, the seismic retrofit of the Golden Gate Bridge is
far enough along that the bridge no longer faces the potential for collapse.
Until the entire retrofit is completed, the risk of significant damage to the
main suspension bridge remains in case of a M 7.8+ earthquake.
The Golden Gate Bridge ALSO contains numerous other features that prevent the structure from failure under intense ground shaking. This video simulation only explores one idea. (base isolation bearings)

I hope these simulations will bring more earthquake awareness around the world and educate the general public about potential earthquake related hazards. SHARE this video on social media
to spread more awareness about
earthquake damage!
This earthquake collapse simulation was created in Blender 3D with the Bullet Constraints Builder (BCB - a structural simulation code made by Kai Kostack) which extends Blender´s basic physics functionality with a sophisticated toolset to simulate load dynamics in building structures.
