A unique bridge system
This thesis examines several remarkable bridges designed by Santiago Calatrava, a Spanish architect-engineer. In those bridges, Calatrava exploits the phenomenon of torsion of the deck to create a certain longitudinal asymmetry. This asymmetry enables the designer to include original features like …
