Have you ever seen a WATER bridge over a river?
WATER BRIDGE .. OVER A RIVER!!!
Even after you see it, it is still hard to believe !
This Water Bridge is in Germany.......
Wow! it took Six years and a 500 million Euros to build it and its 918 meters long.......now isn't this sm real engineering?!
This is a channel-bridge over the River Elbe and joins the former East and
West Germany,as part of the unification project. It is located in the city of
Magdeburg, near Berlin. The photo was taken on the day of inauguration.
To those who appreciate engineering projects, here's a puzzle for you......
Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of
ship and barge traffic, or just the weight of the water?
Answer:
It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water!
Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as
the ship,
regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded.
