Advances in Constructional Engineering

Amid the thriving development of highway networks, the durability of bridges as critical nodes has garnered significant attention. This study focuses on this issue, comprehensively considering multiple factors such as environmental erosion, vehicle loads, and material aging. Advanced testing technologies are employed to collect data, and scientific models are used for quantitative assessment. Consequently, maintenance strategies that cover daily care, disease repair, and reinforcement are formulated. The aim is to enhance bridge durability, extend service life, ensure smooth traffic flow, reduce operation and maintenance costs, and provide strong support for bridge management.
