Review on China's Bridge Engineering Research:2024
In recent years,the pace of bridge construction in China has been steadily accelerating,with the scale of projects and technical level reaching world-leading standards.The high-quality and innovative development of bridges is an important starting point and basic prerequisite for building China into a country with strong transportation network.To further enhance the strength of the bridge engineering discipline in China,promote the high-quality development of green low-carbon,sustainable and intelligent bridge engineering in China,and support the construction of a transportation powerhouse,this review,based on the analysis of the current industry development status and trends,systematically summarizes the latest scientific and technological innovation achievements in the field of bridge engineering in China in recent years and comprehensively sorts out the future key development directions covering four major themes:bridge engineering structural design and system innovation,disaster prevention and mitigation and structural safety,green construction and intelligent construction,and healthy operation and maintenance and longevity assurance.Specifically,it covers 21 hot research directions,including bridge function and analysis,high-performance materials,steel bridges and composite structure bridges,long-span bridge structures,innovative bridge foundation structures,new progress in bridge seismic resilience research,bridge wind,fire,and blast resistance,bridge engineering collision and protection,water resistance and resilience,multi-hazard coupling of bridges,high-quality bridge construction,green construction technologies and construction technologies,bridge monitoring and assessment,intelligent detection,on-bridge traffic safety,bridge life extension technologies,and integrated construction and maintenance platforms.The review provides guidance and reference for the development of the bridge engineering discipline in China and offers new perspectives and basic materials for researchers and technicians in the field of bridge engineering.
