The form of the bridge strongly depends on the structural frame. This is a characteristic of bridges. Therefore, when the bridges are designed, it is necessary to consider about the structure and the form simultaneously. Mechanical relativity is an important concept to understand the relationship between the structure and the form of bridges. In this paper, we propose a new theory of mechanical relativity of bridges. The theory expresses the symmetrical property of the structure and the form quantitatively. Moreover, we show the mechanical relativity of not only "bridge type" but also "horizontal structural system", "structural system for the load distribution to girders", and "structural system for the load transmission from floor to main structure". We propose a way of expression of image of the mechanical relativity of bridges, which are three-dimensional structures.
