A newly constructed bridge was inspected to evaluate the load capacity of the bridge. During the inspection, fatigue cracks and stress fractures were discovered on the deck and supports. After reviewing the original plans, it was discovered the bridge was not built to original specifications (requirements). What did the engineers most likely ignore when designing the bridge?
