The Connecting Bridge Between the Department of New and Old Civil Engineering at Tsinghua University

The corridor bridge at Tsinghua University Civil Engineering Department uses GFRP panels as permanent formwork for its deck. These panels are chosen for their light weight, ease of construction, and durability. They are secured to the secondary girders with bolts and can be manually adjusted on-site without cranes. Edges are sealed to prevent concrete spillage during pouring. Once set up, concrete is poured over the positioned GFRP bars. Post-installation, the panels require minimal anti-corrosion treatment.
