Bridges 2011

Conference Bridge - an industry in motion

Bridges are the ultimate experience in civil engineering . They are not only transport but also often objects of prestige . The bridge inventory and the need for new bridges in Germany is enormous.

Here are new building techniques, materials and calculation tools ever, the engineering capacity of the bridge construction projects added in, so that a constant need of exchange of experience is clear.

But the bridge is much greater in change. Because of new load models as part of an ever-increasing volume of traffic it must be rebuilt or repaired due to age in the next few years / decades, from the 60/70 highway bridges. Simultaneously, the growing demands on sustainability, design and environmental resistance of bridge structures.

Get to know the latest developments of the bridge, and find practical examples using gripping the latest trends in innovative building techniques and materials , the construction and rehabilitation of bridges will be determined in future.
