The Millennium Bridge in London had to be redesigned because it had to control resonance force.

The Oroville, CA dam is the highest dam in the USA at about 235 meters.  It was completed in 1968.  In 2017 its main spillway was damaged.  The water in the lake behind the dam was overwhelming.  The emergency spillway was also used.  Mud and rocks were moving down. With the water.

A mass evacuation of 180,000 people downstream was done. The main spillway had design flaws that were corrected.  The secondary spillway was reinforced.  The cost of all of the rework was about a billion dollars.
