Abstract


The appearance of high-resistance steels and concrete, the possibility of using, when best it suits us, part of the actions which bridges require, new morphologies such as orthotropic slabs for metallic bridges or the stretching of planks and the development of new construction processes, have given rise to a tremendous speeding up in the evolution of bridgebuilding since the Second World War. This article reviews the evolution of bridgebuilding {metallic, suspension and stretched bridges) over the last forty years.
