Design defects, construction problems, inadequate maintenance and other factors lead to the deterioration of the bridge structure, and ultimately lead to collapse. The accident sounded the alarm to us, the need to strengthen bridge construction and maintenance, improve safety awareness.
Section I. Background Introduction
Xiamen Bridge towering, connecting the two sides, since the date of birth, they shoulder the heavy traffic mission.
Day after day, heavy traffic, this bridge has witnessed countless past, carrying people's dreams and hopes.
It is not only a traffic arteries, but also a symbol of Xiamen, connecting the city's past and future.
Section I. Background Introduction
The bridge, carrying countless people's memories and dreams, but in an unfortunate moment, collapsed.
The moment of collapse, the strength and stability of the bridge came to naught, leaving only ruins and debris on the ground.
After the news spread, the whole society was shocked, people have stopped, thinking about this sudden change.
Section I. Background Introduction
Xiamen Bridge, the steel dragon across Xiamen Bay, has been carrying the travel dreams of countless citizens since it was built, not only shortening the distance between the two sides, Also witnessed the development of a city.
In an accident in 2018, part of the structure of the bridge suddenly collapsed, causing serious consequences. After the accident, People can not help but look back at this once brilliant building, thinking about the security risks behind it.
In discussing the background of the Xiamen Bridge collapse, we can not avoid the fact that over time, Any building may have aging, damage and other problems, and the Xiamen Bridge, as one of China's important transport facilities, The maintenance of its security performance is particularly important.
Analysis of the causes of collapse
After the collapse of Xiamen Bridge, the relevant departments acted quickly and launched an in-depth investigation and analysis.
The investigation team conducted a comprehensive survey of the accident site, the bridge structure, construction materials, environmental factors and other aspects of a detailed inspection.
Through a comprehensive review of bridge design, construction and maintenance, the investigation team gradually revealed the underlying causes of the accident.
In the course of the survey, the relevant departments also collected extensive feedback from bridge users to ensure that the analysis results are more comprehensive,
On the basis of comprehensive analysis, the investigation team put forward targeted corrective measures to prevent similar accidents from happening again.
Analysis of the causes of collapse
One of the design problems is the lack of structural stability, resulting in the weakening of load-bearing capacity.
The second reason is that the quality of materials is not up to the standard and the mistakes of construction technology.
Reason three long-term maintenance neglect, the damage to the building is not dealt with in time.
Analysis of the causes of collapse
The geological condition is complex, the foundation is unstable, the long-term seawater erosion, the pier foundation is damaged seriously.
In the construction process, the material quality is not up to the standard, the welding technology is rough, and the bridge structure has congenital defects.
Long-term overload operation, bridge bearing capacity decline, coupled with the impact of extreme weather, leading to structural fatigue.
Bridge maintenance is not in place, detection mechanism is not perfect, security risks can not be found in time.
Section 3 design defects
The investigation into the collapse of the Xiamen Bridge shows that design flaws are to blame for the tragedy.
Experts pointed out that in the design phase, some key link failures led to a decline in the stability of the entire structure.
These defects include improper selection of materials, structural calculation errors and poor supervision during construction.
Unreasonable structure leads to insufficient strength, improper material selection leads to hidden danger of safety, and design defects go hand in hand.
Broken bridges and collapsed buildings reveal the serious consequences of design flaws.
Details determine success or failure, ignoring design flaws, like dancing on a cantilever beam.
Excellence, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of each project.
The stability of the bridge is related to the safety of countless people, design defects as invisible killer, latent among them.
The application of professional knowledge and the analysis of actual cases reveal the hazards of design defects.
A bridge because of design defects and crumbling, profound lessons, warning future generations.
Let us discuss how to eliminate design defects from the source to ensure the safety and stability of the bridge.
Section 4 construction problems
The tragedy of Xiamen Bridge collapse, in addition to the design defects, the construction process of various problems are also difficult to ignore.
The unstable foundation, the quality of construction materials and the lax supervision in the construction process have all laid hidden dangers for the future of the bridge.
Construction workers fatigue work, weak safety awareness, construction equipment aging, a variety of factors superimposed, making the fate of Xiamen Bridge in jeopardy.
Construction site often non-standard operation, such as welding is not strictly in accordance with the specifications, resulting in structural instability; or, The selection of materials failed to meet the relevant national standards, thus affecting the engineering life.
The mastery of the new technology and new technology is uneven, and sometimes even misoperation, which brings hidden danger to the project.
Another point can not be ignored, that is, the construction process of supervision, if the supervision is not in place, construction quality problems will be difficult to be found and rectified in time, Ultimately affect the quality and progress of the whole project.
In the construction process, every link is very important, a little negligence, it may trigger a series of chain reaction, bring serious consequences to the project.
Bridge construction problems encountered in the construction process, such as material quality is not up to standard, improper construction technology, these factors will directly lead to the decline of structural performance.
Long-term use, these problems will gradually appear, such as the expansion of cracks, load-bearing capacity weakened, and may even lead to serious security risks.
The wrong operation in the construction process will also affect the durability of the bridge, such as excessive vibration, improper reinforcement, etc. These may shorten the service life of the bridge.
Section 5 inadequate maintenance
The maintenance of the bridge is very important to ensure its safe operation. Ignoring this may lead to serious consequences.
Over time, the bridge structure will be gradually damaged, if not timely maintenance, cracks and corrosion will be exacerbated.
Lack of regular inspection and maintenance, the bearing capacity of the bridge will be greatly reduced, there are security risks.
Maintenance is not only related to the service life of the bridge, but also related to the safety of countless lives.
Section 5 inadequate maintenance
Xiamen Bridge, an important bridge to witness the development of Xiamen, has exposed many problems in maintenance.
Regular inspection in name only, the lack of effective supervision mechanism, leading to hidden dangers can not be found in time.
In the face of bridge disease, maintenance work often lags behind, delaying the best repair time.
The maintenance fund investment is insufficient, causes the bridge to be in " the disease operation " for a long time
Section 5 inadequate maintenance
Long-term exposure to external environmental erosion, if the lack of necessary maintenance, its bearing capacity will gradually weaken.
Over time, cracks and corrosion can grow, diminishing the stability and safety of bridges.
Neglecting regular inspection and necessary repair, the bridge structure will not be able to bear the increasing load and may eventually lead to collapse.
Section VI lessons and enlightenment from accidents
Xiamen Bridge collapse let us deep reflection, building safety can not be ignored, every detail is crucial.
We learned that strict compliance with the design code and construction standards is the key to ensure the safety of the bridge.
The accident taught us to be in awe of the quality of the project.
The accident, like a meteor in the night sky, is short and bright, but it leaves a profound lesson for people on the road of bridge construction and maintenance. We should not only learn how to lay a solid foundation, but also how to guard against it.
Every accident is a warning to life. It teaches us that safety always comes first in the pursuit of speed and efficiency.
Strengthening the construction and maintenance of bridges is not only a correction of past mistakes, but also a commitment to future responsibilities. To guard the city's traffic.
The tragedy of bridge collapse makes us deeply sad, every accident has sounded the alarm of safety, we should not only reflect on the cause of the accident, But also to learn from these lessons, so that these revelations become our hearts eternal warning.
Strengthening the bridge structure, ensuring the construction quality and improving the daily maintenance level, these seemingly simple measures can save lives at the critical moment. We can not let the tragedy repeat itself, we must put safety awareness into the hearts of every bridge builder.
Strengthen bridge safety management, improve emergency plans, improve emergency rescue capabilities, these measures will build a solid line of defense for us, Let us work together to protect the safety of the bridge.
