This binational collaboration effort is between the FHWA and the Swiss Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Interest in this collaboration came out of a May 2019 Global Benchmarking Program study on "Electrically Isolated Tendons (EIT) in European Highway Structures," which resulted in significant interaction between subject matter experts, manufacturers, and builders from the US and Switzerland. FHWA and FEDRO have developed a mutually beneficial workplan to include the topics of post-tensioning (PT) durability and Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) aimed at improving bridge safety and resilience.
