Although
you don't need to have studied forensic engineering to reach
a conclusion as to why the Tay Bridge collapsed, a basic understanding
of the principles involved in engineering is essential in
order for a proper evaluation of the evidence to be made.
This section
includes interactive diagrams explaining the principles of
centre of gravity and trajectory.
It may be useful to refer back to these while analysing the
evidence for the disaster.
You will
need to have a Flash plug-in to view these diagrams. If you
do not have Flash, please download it now.
