Abstract

Highlights: [•] We present a parametric design methodology for tensegrity bridges. [•] We generate minimum mass shapes through self-similar iterations. [•] The design variables consist of two complexity parameters and two aspect angles. [•] The minimum mass complexity of the bridge has a multiscale character. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
