Abstract
In bridges the overall form must be chosen with due respect to the
transmission of forces if efficient structures shall be created,
The design must therefore be governed by experienced structural
engineers - in some cases assisted by aesthetic advisers on
specific issues. Some basic requirements decisive for choosing the
form of trusses, arches and cable-stayed bridges are outlined, and
several examples show bridges designed without giving priority to
the structural aspects.
