I found this when I was researching about our new bridge. I can only build a bridge that can lasts a 8.5 earthquake, let's see if any of you can get 9.0.

Crysis. Maximum Game.
i have so far reached a minimum damage at 8.2 any higher and its done with the bridge this is a really cool toy
edit: using a suspenion-beam girder-beam girder combination i achieved 8.5 too. at 9.0 there was major damage at 8.5 none.

i also got 8.2.. -.-
Walk down the river
- Cause the river dont run...
I got 8.5, but was way off 9.0
- IS250fied -
8.5...but wasn't too far off. it didn't collapse. I'll keep you informed
Audi humbles Porsche. A new dawn starts today.
Being nice since 2007.
I managed a bridge which withstood 8.5, I'm proud .
Survived 8.5 okay, but 9.0 raped it. Back to the drawing board...
i got 8.5 too. i think its impossible to get a 9
You can call me scott.
hmm my bridhe hasn't collaspsed im i doing this correctly you keep on testing it until it breaks or sumin like that?
edit it just realised ui click on the magnitude wow
TVR, Heres to Peter wheeler and his last creationg of the Scamander.
Coventry seriously sucks....
yeay i did it 9.0 and 8.0 from Hayward
How many time can yr bridge widstand the 9.0?

8.5 is the max any bridge could survive, that I tried so far. No wonder, as a 9.0 earthquake is approximately 30 times more powerful than a 8.0. Possibly a floating bridge might have a better chance of survival, as it won't be jolted directly, the transition areas between floating and on-land will be the weak point.

Which combination survived a 9.0?Originally Posted by matek

a full beam girder bridge with 3 safety features withstood 9.0 san andreas fault 4 out of 6 or 7 times i tried.

I got an 8.5 with a cable stayed bridge with maxed safety features. Cool find by the way.

It is possible to have a cable stay mixed w/ the full beam withstand. but not as often it seems.
