Structural Database

When I am looking for more information about a specific bridge, there is a database of structures that I use as a first point of contact, it is called Structurae, and it is amazingly complete. It not only includes bridges, but also buildings, dams, towers, tunnels, ... It is available in English, French and German, searchable, and it includes a wealth of information, from who the designer or contractors are, to photographs and articles related to each structure.

I highly recommend a visit and its use to find out more details about a specific structure. If there are any drawbacks to the site, it can be a bit slow at times. Otherwise, 10 out of 1o
