| Summary |
A new four-part series that examines the engineering breakthroughs that helped various structures become the biggest in their field. How, for example, did bridges evolve in size from simple bamboo walkways to modern marvels such as Japan's Akashi Bridge? From the robots that paint it to its earthquake-proof towers, the Akashi Bridge is now the longest suspension bridge in the world and changed bridge design because of seven technological innovations.
