ABSTRACT
The bridge structures are important component in highway, railway, and urban
road and play important roles in economy, politics, culture, as well as national
defense. Especially for medium span and larger span bridges, they are generally
served as “lifeline” engineering due to their vital functions in the transportation
network. Therefore, the bridge structures should be carefully planned and designed
before the construction. The bridge design process, bridge design philosophy will
be discussed in this chapter.
