Research On The Innovative Techniques Of Landscape Bridges And The Application

Landscape bridge is the new branch of the bridge architecture brought forward by the inland specialists and scholars recent years. It has the not only common characteristics of the bridge architecture, but also the special qualities itself.Landscape bridges are attached importance to by more and more people along with the development of the economy and the advance of the city construction. People expect that they can use the landscape bridges to decorate the modern cities and the graceful beauty spots. Besides, through a great lot of design practices, the bridge designers also find that the landscape bridges are not always cause the increase of the cost. A lot of world-famous bridges are all the landscape bridges that given attention to both economy and beauty. In this new century, the bridge construction of our country is also making great efforts and exploring toward creating economical and beautiful landscape bridges.The research of this dissertation is based on the foregoing background. Through the analysis on the common bridge artifices and procedures of the landscape bridges and the self-experience on the real projects, it brings forward some new design techniques of the landscape bridges. The author hopes they can contribute somewhat to the deploitation on the design methods of the landscape bridges.Firstly, using for reference the principles of the bionics and the research fruits on bionics which the other fields have got, especially the research fruits that architects has got, can be one of the effective methods for the bridge designers to break through the localization of the design notions and techniques. When technic problems are difficult to break through, the technique of bionics can be another method to settle the problems. And when completing with the bridges that be designed by routine design techniques, the bridges that be designed successfully by the technique of bionics are more easily talent showing themselves.Secondly, the associated inventing of advance design techniques and regional design technique can be an important direction for bridge designers to explore the innovative design of landscape bridges. And they can make this archaic but banausic design technique coruscate new energy in the nowadays bridge design and construction.Finally, bridge designers bringing the holistic design technique to the design and construction of the landscape bridges is the favorable responses to nowadays city constructions and landscape programming. The holistic design technique includes the appliance of the integrated new techniques and the integrated design considerations on the environment and landscape around the...
