Abstract
There is today a strong interest and general commitment toward the quality of the things that engineering is creating. Generally speaking, quality involves and concerns different aspects of the engineering products, like the aesthetics, the ergonomics, the comfort, the structural serviceability, the structural safety and the durability. From this point of view, quality means, at the end, sustainability in the most general sense. All these aspects should be considered in a modern conceptual design of a bridge structure. The structure should be defined taking into account wide criteria and the critical aspects, which give clarity and coherence to the whole structural design, must be strongly pointed out.
