 The other thing to keep in mind was the the bridges built in the '50s
were designed with slide rules and adding machines, so they could
analyze static loads only.  We now have data collected during
earthquakes, and computer-controlled devices that can shake a
model of a structure to see what would happen (and we also have
fast enough computers to analyze what how the structure would
respond as well).
