I attended the 50th anniversary bridge walk in 1987. They expected 50,000 people. But actual attendance estimates range from 400,000 up. I saw the bridge deflection and it was readily apparent that it was experiencing the heaviest load ever. One saving grace was that the entire roadway and its supporting steel substructure had recently been replaced with lighter, modular sections. This reduced the span's weight by an estimated 11,000 tons. I tried to walk from the toll plaza to the Marin side. But, so many people converged from both directions that after 2 hours, I only made it to mid span. You literally had to wait as much as a minute just to squeeze in a single, small step. It was reported that a cyclist who got on to the bridge as soon as it opened for pedestrian traffic found it so difficult to leave that he tossed his bike over the side.

What sets this bridge apart from so many bridges is the amount of detail that went into the structure. One can spend a great deal of time just looking at all the detail work on the towers. Something they never do anymore. The great public works projects of the 20's and 30's are no more. If the bridge had to be replaced, something dull and boring would be put up.

That must be a 'trip' to see it from such angles and its internals.. I joined the 1987 walk across the bridge. It is quite an event. In the 80's, it was briefly shut down because of a category 1 hurricane (80 mph winds). I snuck on to the bridge, as the gate to the west side pedestrian/cycling was not shut. I wanted to see if the bridge was swaying like the infamous Tacoma Narrows bridge. Walking with my bike, I got to just short of the S.F. tower and looked down the road for several minutes - rock solid - no visible swaying. on the way back, I passed a lamp posts and heard something other than the wind...a speaker, saying 'You with the bicycle, for the last time, get off the bridge or you will be arrested" I gave a wave to the main building to acknowledge I heard, and left.

I crossed this bridge, mostly by commute bus, twice a day for my whole career. Going south from Marin County (pronounced Muh-RIN, not MARE-in) into the City, and home, north, in the afternoon. In the early mornings it’s so dark, foggy and drizzly that one can’t see much, but the afternoon rides home were spectacular. The fog would just be drifting in wisps, or unrolling like a blanket, across the bridge, which was brilliantly sunlit golden by the afternoon sun. When new visitors stay with me, I always take them first to the famous overlook of the bridge (Marin side, north of the highway), where so many commercials, advertisements, etc. were filmed. It never fails to impress.

Charles Alton Ellis (1876-1949) was a professor, structural engineer and mathematician who was chiefly responsible for the structural and aesthetic design of the Golden Gate Bridge (it was only possible because of him). Because of a dispute with Joseph Strauss, he was not recognized for being the actual designer of the bridge when it opened in 1937. His name doesn't appear on the original commemoration plaque. "Back in the 1920s, Joseph Strauss, the chief engineer on the project, hired Ellis to do all the engineering design work (because he had no experience with suspension bridge design of his own). And so Ellis did, and by all accounts, did quite well, creating one of the most iconic structures of the twentieth century. But, in an episode that has never been fully explained, Strauss fired Ellis after all the design and engineering work was done and had his name removed from all bridge and historical promotional material and then Strauss took all the credit for himself. And for years, bridge management has rebuffed efforts to give Ellis the credit owed him. But all that will change on Sunday when a shiny new brass plaque honoring Ellis will be officially unveiled. Hopefully this will also mean Ellis' grandchildren can now get that employee discount in the gift shop." bit.ly/2JdvpO5 lat.ms/2JeGgqY bit.ly/2KXTXaY

@@DeckofLies That is an interesting thing to say. Do you have an evidence for that? I would like to learn about it. Sure, if it was completely straight, you might experience going slightly downhill and then slightly uphill, but I think it is negligible. My back of the envelope calculations indicate that if the main span was completely straight, the midpoint would be 4cm lower than the part fixed to the towers, which is negligible at that distance. Or my calculations are wrong. I believe the suspension bridges have to be curved because of the transfer of the loads. If it was straight, then its own weight would pull it down and stretch it. If it is curved, the downforce actually compresses it. Also, having it dead straight would reduce its flexibility during earthquakes and stuff (I think). If it is curved, it can stretch back and forth a bit if needed.

Becoming an ironworker transforms an ordinary guy or gal. The projects we have the honor of working on builds such immense pride that it’s difficult not to want to talk about them incessantly. We are misunderstood for this by individuals who lack our experiences and cannot relate. When I first began working in this magnificent trade, I questioned my choice of occupation but the longer I kept at it those doubts left and were replaced by the virtues of intuition, insight and professionalism I think no other occupation can provide. This Thanksgiving l would like to recognize the past members of our union and our employers like Bethlehem Steel, Kiewit , etc. who made my career for 34 years a memorable one.

As an Architect, I am always fascinated with bridge structural design. I stink at structural design, but am ...fascinated with bridges. I wish this video could have delved more into the structures of the bridge.

@robert33025 жыл бұрын
The strait was called the Golden Gate a hundred years before the bridge. As the video said, the paint was a primer coat. So many people found the color attractive, they decided to keep it that way.

I'm surprised that he didn't mention Fort Point! That is an amazing arch over that civil war era fort! I explored the fort in 2017 and the view from the top level of the fort looking up at the huge arch is amazing! The view of the bridge at the water level there is awesome too! In Hitchcock's Vertigo, there is the scene where Kim Novak jumps into the Bay there and Jimmy Stewart dives in to save her!
