Constant-stress arches - Q&A with Wanda Lewis

Constant-stress arches - Q&A with Wanda Lewis logo

After 30 years studying the shape of tension fabric structures and observing principles of constant stress expressed in natural objects, Professor Wanda Lewis decided to apply the concept to bridge structures. She believes that the outcome – a method for designing arch bridges with a constant stress – could bring a number of benefits. Lewis talks to Jose Sanchez de Muniain.

Important Update: Bridge Design & Engineering Magazine


For more than 31 years, Bridge Design & Engineering has been a trusted source of new insights, knowledge, and connections for the global bridge community.  With the rapid shifts in the publishing landscape and increasing costs, sustaining the printed magazine at the high level of quality our readers expect has become increasingly challenging.  After careful consideration, Hemming Group Ltd has made the difficult decision to discontinue the print publication.


As a subscriber, you will continue to have full access to the Bridge Design & Engineering website - including the complete archive - for as long as your subscription remains active.  Although the site will no longer be updated, the archive remains a rich resource of engineering knowledge and project insight.  You can also continue to access the Bridge Directory, IBIG, through the website or directly at: https://www.bdeibig.com/


While this marks the end of an era, it also opens a new chapter, one focused on strengthening the connections, collaboration, and technical excellence that our community thrives on.  Our energy and investment will now be directed toward expanding and enhancing our industry leading events that bring the bridge community together.


Our flagship events Bridges and Bridges Scotland will continue to thrive as essential annual gatherings for bridge owners, managers, designers, engineers, and suppliers.  These events play a vital role in sharing innovation, showcasing best practice and emerging technologies, and fostering meaningful collaboration across the industry.  We are excited to build on their success and will further develop these events in the years ahead.
