Research on Forensic Engineering System of Bridge 　　Abstract. For questions of the accident investigation of bridge，forensic engineering system of bridge is presented to find out the cause of collapse。New framework is proposed for forensic engineering system of bridge，including conception、principle、 independent investigation、member of investigation group、time limit of investigation and legal status of investigation conclusion. 　　Key words: forensic engineering;accident investigation;forensic engineering system of bridge 　　1.Introduction 　　Up till the year 2010, there have been altogether 685 thousand roads and bridges. Among them there are 93 thousand dangerous bridges. As for the dangerous bridges that are distributed in the national roads, the provincial roads and the county roads, there are altogether 3720. Among them, the majority have been constructed before the 1990s, which accounts 84.8%. 　　From the year 2007 to 2011, there have been at least 17 bridges in which collapse accidents occur, resulting in 156 deaths, 88 injuries and 23 missing. 　　The complete investigation of the accident reasons not only concerns the public trust of the government, but also the accurate treatment of these 93 thousand bridges. The life and property of thousands of people and their security transportation are particularly significant. 　　2.The Disadvantages Existed in Accident Investigation in our Country [2] [3] 　　The major disadvantages are shown as the followings: 　　2.1The lack of independence and temporary nature of investigations 　　Independent investigations are rare though they are highly needed. They can be seen when the State Council directly host the major accidents. The failure of people, equipment, supplies, or surroundings to behave or react as expected causes most of them. Accident investigations determine how and why these failures occur. By using the information gained through an investigation, a similar, or perhaps more disastrous, accident may be preve
