The treatment of connections largely influences the taste of visual impression of a bridge. This paper discuss the detail design of a bridge relating with its total form. Firstly two design trends are shown through the review on recent works and documents that are monocoque style and multilevel composition one. Then four fine works, Tatsumi-shinbashi, Haneda-sky-arch, which are examples of monocoque style, Bach de Roda Felipe II br, and Lusitania br, designed by S.Calatrava as the examples of multilevel composition style, are analyzed into visual elements and connections. Then the each characteristic order in composition and the role of detail design are shown.

In this paper, the damping characteristics of the Old Tacoma Narrows Bridge which was collapsed in 1940 by wind is discussed based on the energy evaluation method. The damping values of the destroyed bridge are analyzed to grasp the contribution of dissipation energy from each construction components of the bridge. The structural damping is also discussed by using loss factors of the steel bridge which was identified by full scale measurements. From these calculation results, some pieces of useful information for the damping characteristics are obtained to reconsider the aerodynamic stability of the Old Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

Due to the Geiyo Earthquake in March 24th, 2001, center stay rods of the 1st Kurushimakaikyo Bridge(suspension bridge) were broken. They were designed to break in strong earthquake and work as safety valve of the structure. In order to evaluate the mechanism of the breakage of the rods, data from field measurement were processed using structural analysis, and it was confirmed that the broken rods worked as designed. It also was confirmed that forces acted to other unbroken rods in 2nd and 3rd Kurushimakaikyo Bridges were not large enough to affect their soundness. Through this experience, it was proven that field measurements and structural analysis can be effective tools not only for design but also for maintenance of structures.
