| 摘要： | The Reynolds Metal Company has developed an aluminum bridge deck system that it hopes to push into the mainstream for bridge construction and rehabilitation. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is intrigued so much by the material's potential for long-term savings that it is employing Reynolds' aluminum deck system in two separate bridges. The Route 58 bridge in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, will be upgraded and widened with an aluminum decking system. The second bridge to be tested has not been identified. This article describes the testing to be conducted on the two bridges and the lightweight, anti-corrosive properties of aluminum that provide advantages over concrete and steel counterparts. In addition, aluminum may be one of the materials used in the "Smart Road" project, which is concerned with cutting-edge technologies. |
