The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge, known for its world's highest and longest scientific and technological innovation, won the Arthur Haydn Award from the 35th International Bridge Conference.
The main span of the glass bridge was 430 meters. One spans the canyon. The bridge deck was 375 meters long and 6 meters wide. The bridge deck was about 300 meters from the bottom. Style Arts participated in the production of the 50-meter bridge pier of the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge--TCP rockwork, from the design development of the project to the construction of the steel structure and the construction of the steel mesh.
The artistic effect of the TCP rockwork was integrated with the overall landscape of Zhangjiajie naturally. Achieving a strong support point for the 430-meter spanning bridge, the terrain of Zhangjiajie is steep and the construction is difficult, and the excellent expression and perfect completion of the project is enough to illustrate our design, technology, and on-site construction capabilities.
For the Beijing Universal Studios project, our company conducted close academic discussions and cooperation with Dr. Feng Peng from the Institute of Non-metallic Materials of Tsinghua University.
Through the innovative development of a new material UHPC, the use of BIM system design and demonstration of ingenious structural design, the perfect solution to the difficulty of the hotel dome construction: At an altitude of 50-60 meters, the dome is made of non-metallic materials (to avoid interference to the radar station), FRP is used as the structural rib, and the 12-meter-long single-chip UHPC product is used to complete the shape.
After many discussions, practice and support from Chinese and American consultants and experts, the verification was completed and was highly recognized by the owner.
