François conducted research on the fatigue resistance of high performance steel welded connections of hybrid girder in bridges at Laval University. The research programme involved experimental tests on full-scale welded connections between high performance steel and conventional steel. A case study was also carried out to evaluate the economical viability of hybrid high performance steel girders in bridge structures.
François’ studies were jointly supported by SNC-Lavalin, NSERC and FRQNT
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
