| Abstract: |
Network arches are arch bridges where some hangers cross other hangers at least twice. See fig. 1. They are elegant and save more than half the structural steel. [1] fig. 9. After 55 years with network arches, the author points out areas where more research should be carried out. Fig. 1. The Brandanger Bridge in western Norway is the world’s most slender arch bridge.
