Evolution of bridge construction by nonmetallic technologies
Concrete engineers and researchers have been developed durable reinforced concrete technologies for long time. However, we have not reached the goal which gives us a perfect technology against deterioration of reinforced concrete. Basically, concrete itself is high durable material. And we recognize this fact when we see Roman concrete structures are still working now. The technologies described in this article are the challenge to derive the solutions against deterioration of reinforced concrete. This research and development have been taking for about 30 years. Then a non‐metallic highway bridge was built in 2020 with the key technologies of aramid fiber tendons, fiber‐reinforced concrete, and butterfly web.
