"Scientific and technological innovation and keeping pace with the times" is the only way to revitalize China and one of the keys to ensuring that our country forever stands among the nations of the world. As an important calling card of China, the field of civil engineering has rich nourishment and accumulation, and has endless stories of great civil engineering. These stories are a microcosm of the era; the greater the era, the more moving the stories.
Today, we take you into the China Civil Engineering Zhan Tianyou Award winning project —Yangsi Port Yangtze River Bridge— to experience the story of scientific and technological innovation in China's civil engineering in the new era.
Yangsi Port Yangtze River Bridge (Recommending unit: Bridge and Structural Engineering Branch of the China Civil Engineering Society) Project Overview The Yangsi Port Yangtze River Bridge is located in the central urban area of Wuhan and is a major project for Wuhan's construction as a national central city and for the Wuhan 1+8 city circle. The main bridge is a single-span double-deck steel truss girder suspension bridge with a main span of 1700 m. The upper deck carries a 6-lane urban expressway and a pedestrian sightseeing walkway, while the lower deck carries a 6-lane urban arterial road, non-motorized vehicle lanes and sidewalks. The main span ranks first in China and second in the world, and it is currently the world's largest-span double-deck highway suspension bridge ever built. The main bridge has 2 main cables, each composed of 271 strands, and each strand is composed of 91 wires of 6.2 mm diameter, 1960 MPa tensile strength galvanized aluminum alloy high-strength steel wire. The main cable span arrangement is 465+1700+465 (m), with a sag-to-span ratio of 1:9. The suspenders use Φ84 mm, 1960 MPa galvanized steel-core wire ropes, connected to the cable clamps in a saddle-type connection and to thestiffening girderin a pin-connected manner; the cable clamps adopt a left-and-right two-half structural form. The stiffening girder is a fully welded steel truss girder with a truss height of 10 m, a standard segment length of 36 m and a weight of about 1050 t. The main towers are portal-type reinforced concrete structures; Tower 1 is 231.9 m high and Tower 2 is 243.9 m high, both founded on caisson foundations with a plan dimension of 77.2 m × 40.0 m. The caisson of Tower 1 is located on the Hanyang riverbank slope and is 38 m high; the caisson of Tower 2 is located in the waters on the Wuchang side and is 50 m high. The anchorage foundations adopt a circular diaphragm wall with an outer diameter of 98 m and a wall thickness of 1.5 m plus an annular reinforced concrete inner lining support structure; the north anchorage diaphragm wall is 59 m deep and the south anchorage diaphragm wall is 66 m deep, with an excavation depth of 39 m for both. The bridge was the main corridor project for the 7th CISM Military World Games in 2019. As a tribute project for the Military World Games, the Yangsi Port Yangtze River Bridge became a calling card showcasing China's bridge construction to guests from around the world and is another landmark building of Wuhan. The project started construction in July 2015 and was completed in September 2019, with a total investment of 3.68 billion yuan. Scientific and Technological Innovation and Application of New Technologies It pioneered the main girder structure of a fully welded double-deck bridge deck truss composite steel truss girder for a suspension bridge. It optimized the traffic function, saved land resources, and adopted a fully welded connection design that simplified the bridge structure and saved 10.2% of steel consumption; it invented a new type of three-dimensional intersecting weld and its construction method, improving the fatigue performance of the steel girder. For the first time in China, a new material for suspension bridge main cable steel wire with a diameter of 6.2 mm and a tensile strength of 1960 MPa was designed and developed. It realized the domestic production of large-diameter, high-strength steel wire products for suspension bridge main cables, and at the time of completion it was the suspension bridge main cable steel wire with the best performance in the world. It pioneered new design and construction technology for large caisson foundations in a hard plastic clay environment. It proposed a caisson structural form suitable for sinking in clay layers, studied the mechanism and method of underwater blasting of the clay layer in the blind zone of the cutting edge, and developed a cutter-suction submersible dredger, enabling the caisson to sink safely, smoothly and precisely in hard plastic clay layers. It developed new technology for the manufacture, transportation and installation of integral segments of fully welded steel truss girders. It studied intelligent manufacturing processes for steel girders and developed the 900 t cable-mounted crane with the largest lifting capacity in China; through control measures such as dual-machine multi-point synchronous lifting, loaded adjustment, temporary connections between segments and precise ballasting, it achieved rapid and precise installation of steel girder segments. It developed synchronous tensioning equipment and technology for cable clamp bolts, applying nut rotation angle quantitative control technology and ultrasonic axial force detection technology to accurately control the tensioning axial force of cable clamp bolts, ensuring that the axial force of the cable clamp bolts is uniform and stable and solving the engineering problem of cable clamp slippage in suspension bridges. For the first time, an adaptive variable-parameter viscous damper was developed, realizing intelligent multi-parameter vibration control of the suspension bridge, reducing the relative displacement and velocity between the tower and girder by more than one order of magnitude, significantly reducing the wear of components such as bearings and expansion joints, and greatly extending their service life.

The China Civil Engineering Zhan Tianyou Award was jointly established in 1999 by the China Civil Engineering Society and the Beijing Zhan Tianyou Civil Engineering Science and Technology Development Foundation. It is a science and technology award approved by the state, recognized by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and first approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology, organized in the fields of civil engineering such as buildings, transportation, railways and water conservancy, with the purpose of commending and rewarding engineering projects with outstanding achievements in scientific and technological innovation and the application of new technologies, and it has played a positive role in promoting the prosperity and development of civil engineering science and technology in China. The China Civil Engineering Zhan Tianyou Award upholdsthe concept of "quality and safety as the bottom line, green and low-carbon as the underlying color, and scientific and technological innovation as the core"and has so far been successfully held for 20 sessions, with 655 projects winning awards. It has become the most influential and authoritative science and technology innovation award in the field of civil engineering construction in China,and is known as the "Oscar Award" in the field of civil engineering.
