Another odd thing, the troll's creator notes: When it was removed its shadow remained on the girder. "The protective and benevolent magical energy that the troll has been casting on the Bay Area commuters and all the bridge workers has etched the troll's image into the steel," he said Tuesday.
Either that, or the sun faded the paint outside the shadow.

“I would rather rely on static and dynamic load analysis.”
Had a course at Architectural School, called Statics. This is just what that course was about. “Put a 200.13 ton truck 40 feet onto this truss bridge. Figure out the tension or compression on a steel truss on the other side of the 103.8 foot bridge.” Problems easily took 5/6 hours to solve,,,, and with a sliderule! One of those courses that you got 100 one day, and 0 the next day.

Maybe it’s supposed to ensure the engineers did all their math right.
Really this is a gagola.

A Bee investigation has found that the state Department of Transportation technician who conducted key testing to ensure structural integrity of the new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge eastern span's foundation was later disciplined for fabricating test results on other projects.
Ima sticking with the protective and benevolent magical energy...

No wonder this analysis got computerized. All the simultaneous equations to solve with the trusses.

We will have the same problem getting rid of the troll in the Senate called Barbara Mikulski.
