Abstract:

Two basic approaches to design option evaluation, controlled convergence and scoring, are described. Their use is illustrated for the design of a 160-m-span bridge. The methods allow both subjective and objective criteria to be used. The use of these methods does not normally give clear-cut answers as to the best option, but allows the competing features of an evaluation to be understood more clearly.
