Title: Xuan Sun and Bridge Deck Innovation.

Introduction

Xuan Sun is an inventor associated with Hunan University in Changsha, China. His work includes a patented composite deck structure designed to improve bridge construction and structural performance. Sun is credited with 1 patent.

Latest Patents

Sun’s patent, “Composite Deck Structure for Bridge and Bridge Structure and Construction Method Thereof,” describes a bridge deck made up of a top plate, longitudinal ribs, and transverse ribs. The longitudinal ribs are fixed to the transverse ribs, which connect them to the diaphragms. The design avoids cutouts in the transverse ribs to accommodate the longitudinal ribs.

By eliminating these cutouts, the structure reduces stress associated with openings in the diaphragms. It also uses hot-rolled section steel for the longitudinal and transverse ribs instead of welded steel plates. This approach reduces the number of weld seams and is intended to improve the deck’s fatigue resistance.

Career Highlights

Sun’s listed affiliation is Hunan University, a research and academic institution in Changsha. His patent focuses on bridge engineering, particularly the design and construction of composite deck structures.

Collaborations

Sun’s listed coworkers include Xudong Shao and Junhui Cao. The available information identifies them as coworkers but does not specify their individual roles in the patent.

Conclusion

Xuan Sun’s patented bridge deck design addresses structural stress and fatigue resistance through its rib configuration and use of hot-rolled section steel.
