MIT Computer Model Cuts Bridge Material Use by Up to 90%, Slashing Carbon Emissions
A research team at MIT has developed a topology optimization-based computer model capable of reducing material use in bridges and buildings by up to 90%. The system supports mixed steel-and-timber designs, balances constructability with carbon reduction goals, and has been validated on the Lockport Bridge near Buffalo, New York. Findings were published in the journal Automation in Construction.
