Abstract

Most of the bridges built in 1950s and 1960s and even in 1970s have been beyond service period and have a lot of damages and defects, which are difficult to adapt to the rapid development of transportation today. If all these bridges are dismantled and rebuilt, it will require considerable cost, while some bridges also have historical and political significance. Thus, bridge inspection and reinforcement technology application is particularly important. Firstly, the article describes the regular examination contents for bridge and the commonly used conventional detection techniques in detail (non-destructive test method, semi-destructive test method, integrated use of semi-destructive test and non-destructive test method and load test) and gives examples of bridge inspection. Then, the article sums up the commonly used traditional bridge reinforcement methods today, and introduces the new composite material- carbon fiber polymer (referred to as CFRP) applied in bridge reinforcement in recent years and the methods of strengthening old bridges. Finally, the article introduces the comprehensive application of various methods of reinforcing bridge through examples of bridge reinforcement.
