Abstract:The brittle failure occurs in the substructure of a mountain expressway bridge because of rolling stone collision on the bank slope, which causes the traffic blocked. Firstly, the temporary reinforcement scheme is proposed to restore the traffic in time after the temporary treatment of the substructure. Then, the permanent reinforcement is carried out to ensure the safe operation of the structure within the designed service life, which provides the reference for the repair design of bridges in similar mountainous areas.
