A three-step optimization algorithm is implemented in a FE model, with the purpose to evaluate the bridge optimum configuration, involving the lowest material quantity and the best strength performance level in all structural members of the bridge. The stability and the efficiency of the formulation were verified with respect to several bridge configurations ranging from small to large spans.
