Review on Anti-blast Resistance and Safety Protection of Bridge Structures
The rising threat of accidental explosions,terrorist attacks,and precision guided weapon strikes has motivated increasing interest in the anti-explosion safety protection of bridge structures.However,these challenges have received inadequate attention in the current bridge-structure design process in China.This paper summarizes the research development and the main achievements,at home and abroad,of eight aspects:the explosion load model,bridge deck and main girder anti-explosion and protection,pier and cable anti-explosion and protection,bridge underwater anti-explosion and protection,whole bridge structure anti-explosion and protection,bridge explosive vulnerability analysis,and resilience assessment.The main challenges facing these aspects are identified.We then propose the main directions for future research,giving a new perspective and some reference for anti-explosion and safety protection research relating to bridge structures.
