the force was torsion. the wind made it bend like silly puddy ************** The force exerted TO the Tacoma narrows bridge was initially the wind resistance. The wind resistance caused the whole bridge to act as a system with forced vibration with damping.

Can a marching army collapse a bridge?

A column of soldiers will never march across a bridge for this reason. The steady oscillation that occurs can, over time cause structural issues with even a well built bridge. It may not actually collapse (although not out of the question) but it can cause serious damage if the marching approaches the resonant frequency. The classic example of resonant frequency that every engineer has had to watch the video of is the Tacoma narrows bridge. There are also many examples that Tesla explained on this subject.


What is the force exerted upwards from the ground?
