At present, China's railway construction is mostly the construction of long-span continuous beam or multi span railway business line. The railway construction of multi span passenger overpass beam needs very complicated construction procedures, which is easy to produce large safety risks in the process of cast-in-place beam. Therefore, during the construction of multi span passenger overpass continuous beam railway business line, constructors must adopt various safety protection measures such as covering, isolation and reinforcement, avoid high-risk points to the greatest extent, fully understand the actual situation of construction, and select and apply appropriate construction scheme, so as to improve the quality and safety of railway construction. Based on this, this paper makes an in-depth analysis on the safety protection measures for the construction of multi span passenger overpass railway business line, and puts forward relevant suggestions on the safety management and implementation cases of the construction of additional passenger overpass in high-speed railway operation stations. The new overpass across multiple railway tracks and multiple passenger platforms at the high-speed railway station in operation has great safety risks to the high-speed trains, existing railway equipment, facilities, passengers and pedestrians. The safety monitoring, inspection contents and methods formulated according to the risk situation have a certain reference value for the bridge construction across the existing railway.展开更多

The entire housing construction project includes infrastructure construction, decoration works, concrete engineering, and later decoration works. In the design process, the preliminary construction quality and construction materials quality of the whole project directly determine the quality of the whole construction project. In addition, the control of the construction process and the comprehensive control of each construction link are crucial to the overall quality of the building. As people's living standards constantly improve, so does the demand for the quality of housing. In this regard, it is particularly important to monitor the construction technology and related management activities at the building site. This paper discusses the current situation of site construction management and construction technology, and provides reference opinions for construction quality control.展开更多
