5 What is the usual practice for bridge engineers?

7 Disappointing! How can we improve our skills in bridge design?
8 What are bridges and footbridges? Are they just crossing devices?
9 Are they just the result of the application of codes requirements? Are they just the result of the checking process of repeated standard solutions?
10 Hopefully not. Proficiency in any art or science is not attained until its history is known. History is very fully taught in schools of architecture, but up to the present, very little time or thought has been given in the engineering school to history of engineering, which is certainly quite as worthy of attention - History of Bridge, H.G.Tyrrell
11 So what are bridges and footbridges? A FOOTBRIDGE CAN BE
12 A FOOTBRIDGE CAN BE A FOOTBRIDGE CAN BE
13 A FOOTBRIDGE CAN BE THE MOST ENJOYABLE GAME FOR ENGINEERS! BUY CAN ALSO REPRESENT A PROBLEM FOR HUMANS AND LANDSCAPE
14 What makes you feel a bridge is beautiful or ugly? Bridges are naked constructions Bridges combine form with function. Bridges are sincere constructions. When Conceptual Design is wrong, the bridge will be a bad one and designer and owner will have no chance to disguise it! Generally bridges seem aesthetically more pleasing if they are simple in form, the deck is thinner (as a proportion of its span), the lines of the structure are continuous and the shapes of the structural members reflect the forces acting on them.
15 "... a good looking bridge is one which responds most gracefully to the structural requirements that it must meet." David P. Billington How do we sense bridges?
16 How can we deal with perception?

22 Girder cross seciton The shadow created by the overhang reduces the dominance of the girder. The deck overhang should be proportional to the girder depth. Girder cross seciton Different girder cross sections can have different aesthetic effects. The cross sectional shape of the girder should be considered in accordance with the following principles. A right angled (90 ) connection can catch the light and a double line may be visible. Maximizing the overhang will increase the shadow.
23 Girder cross seciton An angled connection would minimize this effect Girder cross seciton A very acute angle provides a deep shadow nearly all of the time.
24 Girder cross seciton A curved soffit will provide a gradation of tone and minimize a sharp line at the base of the beam.

26 Understand context Understand the natural, built and community context of that would influence the design. - Topography, water bodies and water courses. - Other bridges in the area and along the road corridor. - Soils and geology. - Biodiversity. - Views to and from the bridge location. - Landscape and built character. - History, tradition and culture of the place Setting consistent design objectives and goals - Unobtrusive or landmark? - Integration (preferable) with landscape / Denial of surroundings. - Proportions: symmetrical / non-symmetrical - slender / stocky. - Simple / refined. - Conform / not conform to suite of bridges along corridor.
