The objective of a bridge design is to produce a safe bridge that is elegant and satisfies all functionality requirements, at a cost acceptable to the owner.A successful bridge design must be natural, simple, original and harmonious with its surroundings.Aesthetics is not an additional consideration in the design of a bridge.Rather, it is an integral part of a bridge design.Both the structural configuration and aesthetics of a bridge must be considered together during the conceptual design stage.To achieve such a task, the bridge design engineer must have a good understanding of structural theory and bridge aesthetics. |
