Dagu Bridge

Dagu bridge is one of many bridges on Haihe River, connecting Hebei Wuma road and Heping Dagu North Road. The appearance of the bridge has a sense of design and modern beauty, with unique shape and beautiful night scene.

Dagu Bridge

Dagu bridge is designed by academician Deng Wenzhong, a famous bridge designer in the world. It is 243 meters long and 32 meters wide. The idea is "the sun and the moon shine". Dagu bridge, located between Jiefang Bridge and square bridge, was officially opened on July 6, 2003. After more than a year's construction, it has become the first bridge to be opened to traffic among the first five newly built bridges in Haihe River.

Historical evolution

Dagu bridge, which connects Wujing road in Hebei District of Tianjin with Dagu North Road in Heping District, is designed by academician Deng Wenzhong, a world-famous bridge designer, with a total length of 243 meters and a width of 32 meters. Its conception is "the sun and the moon shine", so it is also known as "the sun and the moon arch bridge". Facing the East, the big arch symbolizes the rising sun, while facing the west, the small arch symbolizes the moon, which forms an ornamental platform for pedestrians to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Haihe River.

Dagu bridge is designed by international bridge master Deng Wenzhong. Tianjin Urban Construction Design Institute and Lin Tongyan international engineering consulting (China) Co., Ltd. cooperate in the preliminary design. The young team of Tianjin urban construction design institute carries out the construction drawing design, and Tianjin urban construction group is responsible for the construction. Dagu bridge was started in July 2003, completed in October 2004 and opened to traffic in November 2005.

Dagu bridge, located between Jiefang Bridge and Bei'an bridge, was officially built on July 6, 2003. The design concept of the bridge is novel and unique. It is a "Sun Moon arch", which is composed of two asymmetric arches. The arc of the large arch is 140 meters long, 39 meters high, and inclines 18 degrees to the East, symbolizing the sun. The arc of the small arch is 116 meters long, 19 meters high, and inclines 22 degrees to the west, symbolizing the moon,. The arc length of the large arch ring is 140 meters, with an outward inclination of 18 degrees; the arc length of the small arch ring is 116 meters, with an outward inclination of 22 degrees. They are tied to both sides of the bridge by 88 suspenders, opposite to the semicircle viewing platform protruding from the outside of the bridge. According to reports, this design is called "asymmetric floating combined girder tied arch bridge", which is unique in the world so far

After more than one year's construction, it has become the first bridge to be opened to traffic among the first five newly built bridges on Haihe River. Dagu bridge has a total length of 154 meters, a main span of 106 meters, a side span of 24 meters, and a maximum width of 59 meters. The design concept is "Sun Moon double arch", which is composed of two asymmetric arch rings. The large arch ring faces the East, symbolizing the sun, with a height of 39 meters; the small arch ring faces the west, symbolizing the moon, with a height of 19.2 meters.

In addition to the beauty, the 88 suspenders on the arch ring will also bear all the weight of the 106 meter main span bridge deck. This unique design turns the supporting force of the ordinary bridge piers on the water surface into the tension of the suspenders, which saves the piers in the river and truly creates a spectacular Bridge "across" the Haihe River.

Design features

The construction of this project is very difficult, the routing of bridge arch and wind support can not damage the landscape, and the installation of lamps and lanterns is also an unprecedented challenge. Tianjin Huacai Electronic Technology Engineering Co., Ltd. with their enthusiasm and professionalism has been recognized by the masters, with light in the night sky outlined a string of shining necklace. The overall bridge lighting is only 35.6kw, which is a masterpiece of energy saving, environmental protection, humanities and art.

Dagu bridge across Haihe River in Tianjin is an important transportation hub in Tianjin, and it has become the pride of Tianjin people for its unique and beautiful shape. In the design, we fully combined the structural characteristics of the bridge itself, showing the unique connotation and style of Dagu bridge. It is this set of design scheme that has been affirmed and put into practice by the designer of Dagu bridge, academician Deng Wenzhong, an American bridge designer.

In the evening when the breeze blows slightly and the sky is covered with seven colors of clouds, the sunset is naturally dazzling, and the Dagu bridge in colorful haze is the leading role in the night. Whether it's red, blue, or green, each bundle and every point has its own unique character. Whether it's quiet and silent, or open and indulgent, they are so delicate, rough, elegant, strong, pure and indulgent
