Recent collaboration cases

Steel continuous synthesis girder bridge adopting a compact cross-section (Ken-O Road Kanayago Viaduct)
Professor Okui, Saitama University, was invited to the Technical Review Committee when adopting a compact cross-section design for a domestic road bridge for the first time as a rational steel bridge construction effort.
By fully utilizing the performance of steel materials, we have realized a rational structure that does not collapse suddenly due to buckling and is tenacious.
Received the 2013 Japan Steel Structure Association Special Award.
