Sažetak
Bridges are dominant in space not only by their large dimensions, but also by number of their users and service life ; therefore, it is necessary to design not only durable and economical bridges, but also aesthetically pleasant structures. Several case studies of recently built or designed bridges in Croatia, presented in the paper, confirm that careful selection of structure form according to traffic requirements and environment specificities can result in beautiful landmarks. Political decisions as well as environmental restriction and traffic requirements can significantly affect the development of the bridge design project. However, bridge engineering in itself is a key discipline in the process and if holistic approach to bridge design is used, the result is structure, which not only meets all requirements and constraints, but it is also aesthetically pleasant bridge well integrated into the natural environment, regardless of the selected bearing system type. This paper presents how various requirements and restrictions influence on bridge load-bearing system selection. Moreover, attractiveness of bridge type depends significantly on context sensitive design, as it is shown in the paper.
