The infrastructure construction with its high proportion of reinforced concrete is one of the largest emitters of CO2 in Switzerland, explains the Bern University of Applied Sciences ( BFH<\/a> ) in a statement<\/a> . BFH researchers at the Institute for Timber Structures, Structures and Architecture<\/a> , together with TS3<\/a> and other business partners, have developed a research strategy for the use of wood in infrastructure construction. A feasibility study for heavy-duty bridges made of wood is currently being carried out under the direction of BFH professor Steffen Franke.<\/p>\n

A first working model has already been created as part of the study, which will run until summer 2023. The bridge element has been on display in the inner courtyard of the BFH site in Biel since May 9th. The BFH explained in the statement that it was designed for a bridge running perpendicular to the axis. With it, for example, a cantonal road can be routed over a six-lane motorway. Industrial partner TS3 has contributed its technology for the wooden bridge, which is designed for a payload of 40 tons, with which the individual plates of the elements can be connected in a rigid manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
