Abstract

The London Tower Bridge that has always attracted a number of visitors has got its much-needed overhaul especially because of vibration problems that were enhanced when heavy vehicles passed over the bridge. Vibrations from the trunnion shaft were transmitted onto the steelwork of the towers and along with the shaft the bearings showed signs of wear and extensive repairs were carried on all worn out parts.
