#EditorsRecommendation: "Steel and composite bridges – Enabling sustainable solutions" from Ulrike Kuhlmann, Mareike von Arnim, Lisa-Marie Gölz, Gloria Hofmann, Wigand Knecht, Simon Mönch, Vahid Pourostad, Lena Stempniewski https://lnkd.in/eyiFr_7Y Available as open access! Recent research has focused on the efficient construction of sustainable bridges by using high strength steels (HSS), such as butt-welded mixed and matched connections. Intensive research is needed to develop safe design rules for welded HSS connections up to S960. Additionally, the use of HSS in welded hollow section joints for truss structures has shown potential for material-saving construction methods. Investigations on efficient construction methods using HSS are essential for building sustainable bridges with a lifelong use and minimal environmental impact.

🌉🚧 Innovative Solutions for Aging Bridges 🚧🌉 This week’s technical note highlights a study published in the Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction. The paper, titled “Streamlined Framework to Select Corrosion-Resistant Reinforcement to Balance Life-Cycle Costs and Ductility of Concrete Bridge Decks,” is authored by Matthew J. Gombeda, PhD, Zoe Lallas, and Estevan Rivera, Jr. The objective of this paper is to provide a design-oriented methodology that accounts for the effects of high-strength reinforcement, particularly reduced ductility, on structural safety decision-making. 🔗 Learn more about this research here: https://lnkd.in/efG53w3J 📄 Read the full paper in the Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction: https://lnkd.in/errViJnZ #BridgeDesign #CorrosionResistance #StructuralEngineering #LifeCycleCost #ConcreteBridges #CivilEngineering #Innovation #Infrastructure
