A Study on Aizhai Suspension Bridge

Abstract

According to the China Hunan Roads Development III Project, the Aizhai bridge was built in a mountainous terrain and spans a sizable canyon. This bridge is crucial to the growth of the local districts. This study examines the design, construction, and describes the Aizhai Bridge's materials, parts, and components, as well as benefits and shortcomings. The steel truss gliding method and aerial spinning are two cutting-edge building methods for the suspension bridge. Results reveal that the project's structural design is unique, adapting to circumstances like complex geology, severe weather, and a wide space by implementing the design of the tower-girder separation for the bridge along with the design of the suspender cables and the materials implemented in the bridge. Comparisons of carbon emissions due to materials are made with other bridges to show the high effectiveness of the bridge design.
