| Abstract: |
During the final decades of the XXth Century and these early years of the XXIst Century, steel structures’ design and fabrication techniques, as the CAD-CAM systems, modern welding, and powerful construction systems give the designer a new freedom, making possible almost any dreamt form. In this paper some of the possible fields of innovation in steel bridges are presented. |
