It takes a ludicrous amount of work to build a quake-proof bridge

Building a road might be harder than you’d think, but we all know that building a bridge is one serious feat of engineering. Here’s some proof: 42,000 hours of work time-lapsed down to a hypnotizing 4-minute sprint.

EarthCam has been pointing its robot eyes turned San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge-ward since 2008, and in that time it’s collected some 2 million images of the $6.4 billion project. Put together in sequence, they’re stunning.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
