Abstract: | A paramount question for mankind in the next millennium is the quality of environment in which we will live. The most important components of the environment, clean air, water and soil, are impacted by transportation. Making transportation efficient and environmentally friendly often requires a sophisticated infrastructure, of which bridges are the most noticeable part. The cablestayed bridges with its pylons are one of the most dominant and preponderantly used structural forms of the modem era. The shaping of its pylons and the arrangement of its cables is very important for the overall conceptual design. The resulting successful work should be a quality structure resulting from an optimal balance of economics, appearance and suitable structural design. The designers of the new cable-stayed bridge in Usti n. L. tried to follow this path with the pursuit of quality in the design and the construction, with focusing on the function and the aesthetics. |
