NCR For The Engineers On The Board NCR

Just received this from a friend. A water bridge over a river (in Germany.) Question, since water displaces the weight of whats put into it, did the supports have to take into consideration the weight of ships or boats going in or just the weight of the water?

Weight of ships has to be in the calculation
Ahh - I see, thank you David.
True, but since water is fluid............
That is probably too complex an answer for Bill
From a hamburger engineers point of view

Possible, but remember, the weight of whatever
Does it make any difference...
Perhaps the system only needed to...

Greg,
Greg is correct, but no it would not overflow
That makes sense.....
