It is well-known that, accidents of collision between a ship (vehicle) and at bridge continuously occur around the world all the time, and the frequency of accidents of collision between a ship and a bridge is far higher than our imagination. Casualties, property loss and environment damage caused by accidents of collision between a ship and a bridge are amazing. Many accidents of collision between a ship and a bridge at least lose tens of thousands of dollars, more seriously, casualties occur, and the loss amounts to millions, tens of millions or even billions of dollars; it is more difficult to calculate enormous indirect loss. Therefore, it is especially necessary to take an anti-collision measure for a bridge, whose fundamental objective is: to prevent the structure of the bridge from being damaged due to a ship (vehicle) collision force, and meanwhile to protect the ship (vehicle) as much as possible, to reduce the loss to the lowest extent.
Over years of research and application, multiple pier anti-collision facilities for collision between a ship and a bridge occur home and abroad, but the basic principle thereof is designed based on energy absorbing and momentum buffering, and each facility has its own characteristic and use condition. Specifically, the anti-collision facilities may be divided into two types. One type is the indirect type, characterized in that in addition to a pier, an anti-collision facility is additionally arranged, and the pier is not directly subject to a force, to enable the pier to thoroughly avoid the ship collision problem. For example, the pile group manner, the thin-shell sand-building cofferdam manner, and the man-made island manner are generally applicable to an occasion where water is shallow and the geology condition is good. The anti-collision method of the indirect type is done once for all, but the shipping lane may be affected, and usually the indirect type is abandoned since the manufacturing cost is excessively high or the condition is not met. The other type is the direct type, characterized in that: a force is buffered and then directly applied on the pier, such as in a fender manner, a rope deformation manner, a buffering material facility manner, a buffering facility engineering manner and a manner of a fixed or floating casing box anti-collision facility. Generally the direct type is used in an occasion where the shipping lane is narrow and water is deep. Generally the fabrication expenses are economic, and the civil engineering quantity is not large. For example, a steel box type anti-collision device is adopted for Zhujiang Bridge and Shanghai Yangtze River Bridge, the energy dissipation facility utilizes plastic deformation and damage of steel products for energy dissipation. When a ship collides with the steel casing box anti-collision device, large deformation occurs in a steel plate in a discontinuous (intermittent) structure of the outer layer of the anti-collision structure, part of collision energy is absorbed, and contact time is prolonged, so that the peak value of the collision force is reduced. Meanwhile, due to structure deformation and mutual action, the direction of the prow is changed, and energy exchange between the ship and the structure is reduced. However, the steel casing box generally bears collision once, repair is difficult after the steel casing box is damaged due to the collision; meanwhile, during collision, the ship body is susceptible to damage; additionally, the steel products are easily rusted in water over years, and maintenance expenses are high, so it is extremely urgent to design and develop an innovative anti-collision system made of a new material.
