Chinese researchers are using intelligent technology to elevate bridge construction. Engineers are testing a new type of concrete, which is light weight, extremely tough and highly resistant to frost, cracks, and corrosion; a composite material made from cement, silica fume, flyash, water-reducing agent, and water, with steel fiber. Additionally, researchers are incorporating the Internet of Things, big data, and cloud computing to create digital twins as part of the bridge-building process.
