- Abstract
- Although tensegrity structures are very unlikely to reach the same structural performances as trusses, they offer new architectural opportunities and deployment abilities which in turns justify the large interest of the scientific community for the last decades. However, nowadays only a few real construction projects have been built across the world. The main reasons of this reluctance in engineering practice are certainly the complex construction processes and the lack of design guidelines. This article focuses on the design of a uniformly loaded tensegrity footbridge which shows promising performances thanks to the use of the morphological indicators optimization method.
