Subject(s): Online resources: Abstract: Detta är ett NordFoU projekt som initierats via HK och som är tänkt att startas inom UO 5. Projektet syftar till att optimera livscyklar hos broar.Abstract: The aims of the Bridge Life Cycle Optimisation (ETSI) Project are to: Create appropriate tools of information related to a bridge and its life cycle for designers, constructors and bridge owners. Tools to be developed will be in such a form that they are relevant and directly applicable to practical problems or decision-making. Optimise a bridge considering all aspects: functionality, technique, economics and aesthetics in the lifetime of the bridge. For example, on detail level the project will give basis to choose the proper bridge type or material considering long-term effects. Produce measuring methods for comparing and evaluation of different items for judging the life cycle of a bridge in a meaningful way. Bring the principle of sustainability into practice in bridge engineering. Emphasise the importance of cultural values in bridge design, construction and maintenance. Create a communication channel between the Nordic countries in bridge life cycle engineering. For example, a web site will be created for the relevant information.
