Abstract:
Throughout the history of our civilization people constructed bridges, viaducts, overpasses and other types of engineering structures designed to overcome deep gorges and vast rivers. The reasons for doing it were functional necessities. But on the other hand new big structural forms and their new aesthetics values intrigue observers, mostly because of the innovativeness. New forms emanating its technical beauty, free of decorations or decorative details, with the charm of repeated huge arches, anchor ropes or riveting rhythm have impressed people both two thousands year ago and now.
