chat2deen:All flyover bridges in Kano metropolis are less than 2Km. The longest amongst them is the one from Wapa down to Tafawa Balewa road, and its 1.8Km. |

richidinho: This is just shameful. There is what is called is physics thermal expansivity. In lay man's terms, you heat something and it expands, you cool it and it returns to shape. the gap that is left on that bridge is to accommodate the expansion which usually happens during the heat of the day. Go school, them no go go. GEJ TILL CHRIST RETURNS! 4 Likes |

richidinho: Check that pic on the right above your post. Are bridge joists supposed to meet at such an angle? The gap in the concrete guard rail is not uniform. I hope that is how it was constructed bevause if it isn't, there may be phaya on tha mountain oooo. My explanation: When bridge joists (Beam-Slab assembly) meet on top of a pier (the column or "pillar" for laymen here), each should be horizontal at the meeting point so they can sit squarely (flat) on top of the pier (imagine a book partially over the edge of a table). Such an angle may mean the joists are resting on the edge of the pier. Now, that book you imagined? press down on the free end to tilt it downwards from the table edge. You get the picture? That angle means less stability. That said, the bridge may not be a death trap right now, but it may not last as long as intended. I assumed you are an Engineer since you mentioned thermal expansion. 4 Likes 1 Share |

kunlej2:fixing expansion joints on a completed bridge?I thought he went there to commission a completed project.That means they hurriedly went there to commission an uncompleted project,just to score a cheap political point.Why the rush,if i may ask.Don't he have until May 29 to commission it,must it be now? 3 Likes |
Re: Photos Of The Rumored Cracked Bridge In Kano by MrPresident1: 6:00pm On Mar 25, 2015 |
You have to take note of whether the bridge is ascending or descending (Elevation and Depression) at the perspective of the photograph. |

We know the said bridge was not completed, he just rushed to commissioned it so that people will say oh let's vote for him. So so commissioning of half completed projects here and there. 1 Like |

chat2deen: So in ur ab0ki sense, that gap is a crack? Do u know what is called expansion joint? Elementary physics will do u a great favour. Go and pick P.N okeke and read about linear expansivity, u will learn Why gaps are left on bridges. No wonder 80% of u people in Kano are illiterates. 3 Likes 1 Share

kunlej2: U re very correct,that's an expansion joint or spring in lay man's term. When 3rd mainland bridge was renovated,that was exactly what the contractors worked on. Cos it acts more like a shock absorber for all the loads on the bridge. |

UrennaNkoli:Couldn't you have made your points valid and convincing without raining insults on him? Last time I checked, there's freedom of expression in Nigeria. No matter your insults, he still has a point because it was reported that the bridge was so bad that it can't be used and he posted a picture of that bridge in active use. He has done his part. It's now you that should take the picture of where the cracks are in the bridge and post. Calling him a fool is no argument. If you're debating, will you call someone a fool and be scored a point to win the debate? 3 Likes |

Sacramento4real: I don't know how to explain how absurd that statement is. Let me see.......yes. Can you imagine paying for a brand new tear rubber car and, as you were about driving off, the dealer says: "Sir, my boys need to install shock absorbers in your car before you take it away. Please br patient for another hour" We all know the reason behind the wave of commissionings. 1 Like |
