JayB Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 The Big Dig is a tremendous engineering feat in a lot of ways, but should also serve as a cautionary tale for Seattleites trying to figure out the best way to fix the viaduct/seawall problems. I'm not sure what the standard is for installing bolts that will secure heavy, suspended loads is, but some MIT civil engineering profs that they interviewed on TV seemed to think that it was kind of startling that the bolts didn't screw into metal plates embedded in the concrete. If it all works out I'll leapfrog from the greatest traffic cluster in history (here) to what promises to be a close second (there) in '08. Quote
