Abstract:A three-pronged study was undertaken to forecast the nature of bridge engineering and construction for the years 1980 to 2000. First, the history of bridge engineering was explored to extrapolate likely future developments. Second, a detailed questionnaire on the future of bridges was sent to authorities on the subject, and their responses were analyzed. Third, an extensive body of literature dealing with the future was examined for information relating directly or indirectly to bridges. From all of this, both specific and general conclusions concerning bridge engineering for the last part of this century were determined. Also presented is a list of research that is needed to meet the challenges ahead.
