Technical problems and research results of Zhangjiajie glass bridge
Technical difficulties
Yuntiandu is located on cliffs, river valleys, undulating and steep terrain. The site belongs to the original karst landform with complex geological conditions. Because it is located in the karst landform area, the construction workers found a karst cave 80 meters below the main tower at one end of the glass bridge during the third drilling of rock mass in the early stage, which will seriously threaten the safety of the bridge.
The glass bridge finally extends 60 meters, and the deck is widened by 2.8 meters, which improves the safety factor of the bridge. In bridge design and construction, technical problems such as selection of building materials, glass technology, anti-wind and anti-skid, earthquake resistance, compression and frost resistance have been overcome.
Glass is made of high-strength aviation composite material, which has the characteristics of large size, high hardness, high thickness, wear resistance, antifreeze, ultra-purity, explosion-proof, high load, mildew resistance, temperature drop resistance, fragile glass and flexible bridge combination.
achievements in scientific research
Yuntiandu Project has obtained 7 national patents and 3 construction methods, including invention patents 1 and 6 utility model patents.
