Technical Seminar on Comprehensive protection technology of fire and anti-corrosion for bridge load-bearing cables (橋樑承重纜索抗火及防腐蝕綜合防護技術研究與探討)

Date, time & venue
28 November 2024 (Thursday), 18:30 – 20:00, Chan Yat Mei Sophie Room, 9th Floor, the HKIE
Headquarters

Organized by
HKIE Civil Division

Programme Highlight
Fire-resistance and anti-corrosion are key issues that need to be considered during the entire life cycle of cable system bridges. The technology system of Comprehensive Protection of Composite Fiber( hereinafter referred to as "CPCF") can provide sufficient safety anddurability. At a high temperature of 1100°C for 60-120 minutes, CPCF can keep the surface temperature of the bridge cables from exceeding 300°C. The bridge cables can maintain mechanical properties and buy valuable time for rescue. Under normal use conditions, CPCF can withstand an internal and external air pressure difference greater than 0.3MPa for a long time. CPCF also prevents mechanical damage and provides long-lasting sealing protection. CPCF has systematically and effectively solved the problems of fire-resistance and anticorrosion of bridge cables for the first time in the world.
