Notable Unbuilt Bridges
by William Zuk, Univ of Virginia, United States,Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Steel Structures
Abstract:
In the examples of unbuilt bridges discussed, many different ideas and concepts have been proposed. Most appear to be basically sound in nature, although rather innovative and daring. Those that take a quantum leap in concept or span would need further research with regard to materials and behavior. Some could be built with existing technology, although at a premium cost. Some would project a whole new and exciting vision of bridge esthetics. Generally, these structures were not constructed because they were either too innovative or too expensive or both.
