Village visiting is continuously conducted. The week before last week, we went to Zili village. Zili Village is a village deeply affected by modernization and industrialization. Half of the village was set aside for the construction of the factory. Factories include auto parts factories, shoe factories, clothing factories and lamp factories. And the village is cut in two by a busy highway. That's why I say the village is more industrialized and modern
Site Plan of Zili Village
Although the highway encroaches on part of the village's land space, the space under the bridge is not wasted. After communicating with the local villagers, I learned that the space under the bridge was surrounded by the village committee as a warehouse and sold to nearby factories for storage. So the village gets extra income from rent. The highway is seen from the side as shown in the elevation below.Elevation of the Bridge
As we entered the warehouse under the bridge for a tour, I discovered something that interested me. As you can see from the section below, there is a small structure between the two Bridges. At first we didn't know what it did. So we asked the people who work in the warehouse. They told us that this structure is used to catch the rain water left over from the bridge deck. Rainwater is collected in this tank and then piped down. The water will be used for industrial production or irrigation.
Section of the Bridge
After observation, the structure consists of two steel beams, two steel plates, a pipe and some iron bars. This is the most common type of steel construction, where different parts work together to strengthen the structure. The following axonometric and explosive diagrams clearly show the composition of this structure.
Axonometric of the Structure
We can not only focus on the structure itself. We also must pay attention to the joint between the structure and the bridge. This is important for us students to get to know how different materials work together. As you can see in the detailed drawing below, the been is installed on the bottom of the bridge, and it is fixed by screws.
