"The cargo ship collision that destroyed the Francis Scott Key Bridge in
Baltimore on March 26, 2024, is raising questions about just how much engineers
can do to prevent such catastrophes from occurring in the future. Here, Michael
J. Chajes, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University
of Delaware, discusses how bridge design codes have changed over the years and
the challenges of building new structures, and retrofitting existing ones, so
they can survive extreme events"
