Interdisciplinary networks, such as the Nordic Timber Bridge Project, play a crucial role in fostering innovation within the wood-based industry. By bringing together experts from various fields including civil engineering, forestry, architecture, and material science, these networks facilitate knowledge exchange and collaboration.

Cross-Pollination of Ideas: Interdisciplinary networks provide a platform for professionals with diverse expertise to exchange ideas and insights. This cross-pollination often leads to the emergence of novel approaches and solutions that may not have been considered within individual disciplines.

Integration of Advanced Technologies: Collaboration among experts enables the integration of advanced technologies into wood-based construction practices. For example, insights from civil engineering can inform the development of innovative timber bridge design techniques that leverage digital tools and structural optimization algorithms.

Sustainable Practices: Interdisciplinary collaboration fosters a holistic approach to innovation, considering environmental, economic, and social aspects. This often leads to the adoption of sustainable practices such as circular construction methods and the utilization of renewable materials, contributing to the overall sustainability of the wood-based industry.

In conclusion, interdisciplinary networks like the Nordic Timber Bridge Project facilitate innovation in the wood-based industry by promoting collaboration, integrating advanced technologies, and fostering sustainable practices. Through these collaborative efforts, the industry can address complex challenges and drive positive change towards a more sustainable and resilient future.

How to overcome convergence issues in concrete arch models?

Hi, I have modelled a three-span arch bridge with soil fill over along with pedestals. The FE modelling is done in LUSAS with HX8M solid elements (i.e. 3D solid modelling). The non-linearity is...

Why is shell element preferred over solid element in ANSYS APDL for bridge modeling in finite elements?

For modeling bridge deck slab on ANSYS APDL, why is shell element preferred over solid element? I read somewhere that the mesh of shell elements is more efficient than solid elements. Why is that?
