| Abstract: |
Urban highway viaduct plays an indispensable role in reducing the pressure of the urban traffic. The configuration design of the pier is very necessary which need to meet both the structural safety and aesthetic logic, especially in rapidly developing economies. Some valid principles of the pier configuration design were summarized. Based on the characteristics of urban highway viaduct pier, the reasons why the piers aesthetic design is more difficult was analysed and some methods for the configuration design was given. Based on a bridge project that is located in Chengdu, China, three configuration design schemes of piers were analysed and compared from different aspects, which reflect some emphases of the pier configuration design. The configuration design of urban viaduct pier is significant to increasing aesthetic perception and shaping the urban culture, and should be adopted by the designer |
