1.The fundamental factors that affect the shape of the bridge.
An excellent bridge design should have the following characteristics: In terms of application, it is necessary to fully meet the needs of function, in terms of safety, to meet the needs of bearing and durability: in technology, it is necessary to reflect the new development of science and technology and engineering: in terms of modeling, it is necessary to integrate with architectural art, and in construction, it is necessary to rationally use materials and combine with the actual construction. Bridge designers should consider the local social, historical and natural environment under the basic premise of ensuring that the structure is reasonable, and make full use of the laws of architectural aesthetics.
2.Bridge aesthetics and styling design.
Looking back at the bridge engineering at home and abroad, it is not difficult to find that the predecessors attached great importance to the aesthetic characteristics of bridges as buildings. However, in recent decades, due to the rapid pace of domestic infrastructure construction, on the one hand, the aesthetic treatment of most small and medium-span bridges has not received enough attention: on the other hand, due to the overemphasis on the importance of bridge modeling or the misuse of modeling principles, some bridges with huge investment and unsatisfactory aesthetic effects have also been built.
As a bridge designer, we must not only have extensive scientific and technological knowledge and engineering design ability, but also have a certain aesthetic and artistic literacy and creative conception ability, so as to better realize the combination of technology and art according to the needs of modern society. We create designs that meet the needs of the times from function to form.
