Can the house be built on the bridge?

Mar. 12, 2018

Recently, a 400-meter-long bridge in Chongqing has been very popular on the internet. Because a row of Chinese and Western towns has been built on the bridge, turning the entire bridge into a fairytale town. The saying goes, "dilettante watch the scene of bustle, adept the contents”. The first response of experts is to see how to solve the bridge bearing problem. The bridge has limited bearing capacity. If you want to build buildings on the bridge, you must first reinforce the bridge.

Building houses on a bridge mainly causes a large load-bearing for the bridge deck and bridge piers. If the bridge piers have a large load-bearing, bending damage will occur. And the bending damage will have continuity. This will lead to cracks in the piers and the inside  steel bars will be exposed outside. The water in the air will corrode the interior. If the circumstances are serious, it may cause the bridge to collapse.


Therefore, when the bridge body is reinforced, it is necessary to repair the cracks in the pier to prevent further erosion. If the crack width is less than 0.15mm, the surface needs to be closed. You can use Nanjing Mankate sealing glue. If the width is greater than 0.15 Mm, you need to use high-pressure irrigation method. Here Mankate slot filling adhesive is recommended. Through the pressurized syringe, epoxy glue  will be injected into the gap inside to achieve a closed effect. 


For the reinforcement of bridge piers and bridge decks, planting bars reinforcement and carbon fiber cloth reinforcement are used. The reinforcement of planting bars is to perforate the bridge body, perfuse the anchorage glue, and implant the steel bars. After the anchorage glue and steel bars are bonded, let the steel bars and piers  work together to increase the load of piers. Here we recommend Nanjing Mankate anchorage adhesive. Nanjing Mankate anchorage adhesive is acid and alkali resistant, anti-aging and the service life can be up to 50 years.


For the reinforcement of the bridge deck, that is, the bridge surface, we need to use the carbon fiber cloth reinforcement. The principle of carbon fiber cloth is the same as that of planting bars reinforcement. By binding carbon fiber cloth, let the carbon fiber cloth and the bridge surface support the force together to achieve  the effects of the reinforcement of the bridge deck. Nanjing Mankate carbon fiber cloth has the characteristics of light weight, high tensile strength, corrosion resistance and aging resistance, and it is very suitable for bridge reinforcement.


Although the buildings on the bridge are beautiful, we must also consider the reinforcement of the bridge. Nanjing Mankate has reinforced products such as anchorage adhesive, carbon fiber cloth, and slot filling adhesive to ensure the safety of your bridge reconstruction. Finally, we appreciate a group of foreign bridge architectures together.
