Optimisation

On October 20-21, the first physical meeting of all project partners took place at Universeum (20/10) and Chalmers conference centrum (21/10). 15 project partners were able to travel to Sweden and contribute to a very productive and intense meeting.

This project aims at the full utilization of the benefits offered by stainless steel to have sustainable and “maintenance-free” road bridges which have competitive investment costs to that of their traditional carbon steel counterparts. It is believed that by the use of bridge girders with corrugated webs and stainless steel reinforcement and optimization of the material usage and production costs, a considerable reduction in the investment costs of a stainless-steel solution is attainable.
