Sydney, Australia (SPX) Aug 02, 2024

China is at the forefront of bridge engineering with significant advancements in the construction of large-span arch bridges. Jielian Zheng, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering from Guangxi University, has published a research article in *Engineering* titled "Recent Construction Technology Innovations and Practices for Large-Span Arch Bridges in China." This article highlights the important progress in building concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) and steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) arch bridges, driven by technological developments over the last thirty years.

"Academician Zheng's research underscores the pivotal role of innovation in enhancing the efficiency, safety, and economy of arch bridge construction." The article details two notable bridges-the Pingnan Third Bridge with a 560-meter span and the Tian'e Longtan Bridge with a 600-meter span. These projects exemplify the advanced techniques developed and implemented under Zheng's guidance, marking a significant milestone in bridge engineering.

The innovations discussed include cable-stayed fastening-hanging cantilevered assembly methods for CFST bridges, and for SRC bridges, the development of new encasing concrete materials and advanced pouring techniques. These advancements have addressed the inherent challenges of arch bridge construction, significantly reducing both risks and costs.

China's achievements in arch bridge construction reflect the nation's commitment to advancing infrastructure development. The progress in this field sets a new standard for global bridge engineering practices and inspires engineers worldwide to pursue excellence.

The article concludes by outlining future research directions and development opportunities for CFST and SRC arch bridges. It emphasizes the need for continuous innovation and addressing new challenges in bridge construction.

China's progress in arch bridge construction exemplifies how engineering innovation can redefine infrastructure development limits. This research highlights China's leadership in bridge construction and the potential for future advancements.

New catalyst developed from nanoscale cubes
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Aug 01, 2024
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created innovative sheets of transition metal chalcogenide "cubes" linked by chlorine atoms. Unlike the widely studied atom-based sheets such as graphene, the team's research introduces the novel use of clusters. They successfully formed nanoribbons within carbon nanotubes for structural analysis and also created microscale sheets of cubes, which were exfoliated and examined. These sheets demonstrated exceptional catalytic properties for hydrogen produ ... read more
