Transportation, as the foundation of our civilization, has posed new and new challenges for civil engineers for centuries. Today, we have reached the point where we can no longer develop further with traditional construction materials according to the previous terminology, unless we start using completely new materials and technologies. Ferrobeton Zrt. completed 2 research projects in the past year, in which it began to push the boundaries of the traditional approach in order to overcome the physical limitations of beam bridge construction.
