In-Depth Information
Steel technologies lead to benefits at a social and sustainability level, as they are fast to
construct, highly pre-fabricated, flexible and adaptable in use, long life and recyclable.
The high degree of prefabrication helps to reduce the unintended manual works on-site
leading to an upgrade of the working condition and quality of workmanship. Moreover the
dangerous maintenance actions are largely reduced for bridges with integral abutments due to
missing transition joints. Thus safer working conditions are achieved and remarkable saving
in costs and down time are occurring for the lifetime of the bridge.
All time savings in construction and maintenance result in large benefits of the bridge
owners but also for the community as less disturbance of the traffic will occur.
Additionally the exchange of technical experience from the partners from different parts
of Europe contributes to a transfer of information from the different construction fields with
different demands. Thus to perform this research proposal on the European level supports
the idea of a higher degree of co-operation and harmonization in the European steel and
construction sector.
