The basic structural systems used for bridges are described, the weak points of every system are brought out and some of the contest models are analyzed, according to their structural system, in the way they fault. At last, winner bridges of the four versions of the event are described, and a study of how, through experience, the contestants and organizers had attained and raised the level of contest is exposed.
