Innovative Retrofitting Techniques for the Protection of Anchorage Zones in Cable-Stayed Bridges Subjected to Blast Loads

该项目将寻求开发一种创新技术，通过全面的理论和实验研究，对承受近距离爆炸和严重脉冲荷载的斜拉桥锚固区进行改造。作为研究的一部分，用于加固目的的创新材料将极大地帮助工程师制定桥梁保护和加固方案。结果可以直接传达给有关当局，从而提高澳大利亚应对极端事件的能力。

The project will seek to develop an innovative technology to retrofit anchorage zones in cable-stayed bridges subjected to close-in detonations and severe impulsive loading, through a comprehensive theoretical and experimental study. The innovative material used for the strengthening purposes developed as part of the study will greatly assist engineers in protection and retrofitting schemes of bridges. The results can be communicated directly to the relevant authorities, thus improving Australia's capabilities in dealing with extreme events.
