Aesthetics and Environmental Integration
The roles of aesthetics and environmental integration in bridge design are recognized as key parameters in any design or design and build tender. Understanding the bridge environment requires understanding how the space/landscape is occupied by the bridge. The concepts of 'order and continuity' plays a relevant role in bridge aesthetics, namely for the layout and span arrangement. Details play also a relevant role in bridge appearance. The design of bridges in urban spaces requires particular attention to aesthetics and environmental issues. The difficulty is the impact of the bridge in the urban environment, not only concerning aesthetics, but also the impact of the bridge on human life. The concept of 'apparent slenderness', the slenderness as detected by the viewer, is related to the apparent depth of the bridge deck. The ratio between widths of cross sections of the elliptical pier shafts and span lengths was studied to improve the transparency of the bridge substructure.
