Topology optimization of a thin shell bridge was done (link) and compared to a real bridge. The original bridge is Knokke bridge located in Belgium which did cost $1,700,000 euro to build (link2). The optimized bridge has better mechanical properties as usual. However the weight is not reported. The topology optimization results indicate asymmetric structure, as the design space is not symmetric it is expected to be so. However the interpretation of the user is symmetrical.
