As part of our Bridges module, we had the incredible opportunity to visit the Rahmedetal Bridge construction site—a project that truly highlights the challenges and innovations shaping modern infrastructure.
The Rahmedetal Bridge isn’t just a critical link in our transport network; it’s a powerful symbol of the current state and future potential of German infrastructure. Seeing firsthand how cutting-edge construction techniques and smart bridge design come together to execute such a major project was both inspiring and insightful.
It’s experiences like this that remind us of the importance of applying theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges.
You can now enrol in the Moodle course for Synthetic Material Building.

The 13th international conference on advances in steel-concrete composite structures (ASCCS) was held this year in Hong Kong. Our chair was represented by a paper written by Julian Betken and Professor Markus Knobloch.
Julian Betken presented the paper entitled “Numerical investigation on the structural performance of castellated steel beam-columns” in the session for innovation and sustainability.
The conference website can be found here.
As the year draws to a close, the Chair of Steel, Lightweight, and Composite Structures at Ruhr University Bochum sends you warm wishes for a Merry Christmas, relaxing holidays, and a successful start to the New Year!
We hope this festive season brings you joy, relaxation, and new inspiration for the opportunities ahead. As we look forward to 2025, we are excited about new, innovative projects, packed classrooms with motivated students and continued growth.
Here’s to a healthy, happy and successful year for all!
Warm holiday greetings,
The Team at the Chair of Steel, Lightweight, and Composite Structures
