Structures

The engineering structures included in Structurae are first and foremost those which are necessary to establish lines of communication or transport, such as bridges, tunnels, dams, etc. But Structurae is also interested in those structures in which the civil or structural engineering aspect is very significant be it through the structure itself, its construction. You may browse by one of the following options:

Name

Structural type

Alphabetical index by name in which all the structures are included that are part of this database.

Index by the type of structure, for example "cable-stayed bridge" or "suspension bridge", etc.

Function

Construction method

Index by the type of function or use that the structure has, e.g. railroad bridges, observation towers, stadiums, etc.

Methods of construction used such as incremental launching, new Austrian tunneling method, etc.

Geographic location

Year of completion

For all structures a physical, geographical location is defined. You can browse the geographical index to find structures that way.

If the year of completion (or the century/decade) is known, you can find the structure in the chronological index.
