UHPC (Ultra High Performance Concrete) and profile steel combined structure for widening bridge
By combining UHPC and steel profiles, the structural issues at the connection between the old and new bridges during bridge widening were resolved. This allowed for the connection of the old and new bridges using T-shaped steel plates, bolts, etc., forming a steel mesh and then casting UHPC. This solved the problem of increased additional internal forces caused by the settlement difference between the old and new bridges, and improved the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the bridge.

AI Technical Summary
During the widening process of a bridge, the settlement difference between the old and new bridges leads to an increase in additional internal forces, affecting the bearing capacity and causing cracks at the connection. Existing technologies are unable to effectively transfer the load.
The structure employs a combination of UHPC and steel profiles, connecting the old and new bridges with T-shaped steel plates, bolts, angle steel, etc., forming a steel mesh and casting UHPC. I-beams and shear studs are used to transfer loads, ensuring structural independence and rigidity.
This improved the structural stiffness and load-bearing capacity of the bridge, avoided the increase in additional internal forces caused by settlement differences, and ensured the safety and stability of the bridge.
