What is Optimal Designs for Long-Span Bridges about?

This document summarizes a study that uses numerical layout optimization to identify the theoretically optimal structural form for very long-span bridges under gravity loading. The study finds that the optimal forms are complex and differ significantly from traditional suspension and cable-stayed bridges involving vertical pylons. Simplified variants with split pylons are also presented that could span greater distances than traditional forms for a given material volume, particularly for spans over 2 km. Th
