China Traditional Architecture and Modern Science and Technology

Many people think that ancient bridges and buildings will not have problems for hundreds of years, but modern ones will not, and various problems will often appear. This is actually a probability illusion!

If you count the ancient buildings, I'm afraid there are more than 10 million, but few can really be preserved completely. Today, almost every one of these few preserved buildings that we can see has been restored several times.

Therefore, it would be too one-sided to only use these surviving buildings to show how strong the ancient buildings are.

Of course, I'm not here to belittle the wisdom of the ancients. In fact, whenever I see these ancient buildings, I admire them from the bottom of my heart and admire their craftsmanship and technology.

Moreover, there are a large number of modern buildings, but there are few quality problems, some of which are not the quality problems of the bridge itself, but the overload of passing vehicles.

According to big data analysis, China's bridge construction accidents are far lower than other countries, and the safety factor ranks first in the world.

In addition, compared with ancient bridge buildings, the most important problems are span and bearing capacity.

In fact, these two aspects are also very easy to understand. Let's talk about the span problem first.

In ancient times, if the span was too high, it was impossible to build a bridge, so people would choose to travel by boat. But now, the span of this bridge is very large, and some of them are even beyond imagination.

Not to mention the load, there are many ancient carriages, and this is just how heavy it is, which is nothing compared with now. Now big trucks are very easy, that is, dozens or even hundreds of tons.

The bridge has a long span and the truck is heavy, so you can understand how much pressure the bridge bears. If you add traffic jams, alas, you can't forget it. Let's make up our minds.

Therefore, we should not talk about heroes in terms of survival probability, but go deep into them, make detailed comparisons and learn from each other's strengths, so that our architectural level can go up a storey still higher.
