Sustainable bridges

Sustainable bridges is a EU project which assesses the readiness of railway bridges to meet the demands of the 2020 scenario and provides the means for up-grading them if they fall short. The 2020 scenario requires increased capacities with heavier loads to be carried and bigger forces to be absorbed due to longer faster trains and mixed traffic. All type of bridges are being considered.

The project has been recently concluded. On their website http://www.sustainablebridges.net/ you can find several interesting presentations and reports.
