La presente tesis se tiene por objetivo la de realizar un análisis comparativo del comportamiento estructural de un puente peatonal de acero de estructura mixta, cuyos elementos estructurales están dimensionados de acuerdo a las indicaciones de la especificación técnica AASHTO LRFD. En este trabajo de investigación se usaron datos de una zona de proyecto para la realización del análisis comparativo. Esto con el fin de obtener perfiles resultados que se asemejen a la realidad en el contexto peruano. Esto debido a que la configuración misma del puente peatonal generaba fuerzas horizontales mayores en relación a las verticales haciendo necesaria la utilización de pilotes inclinados para aplacarlas. Otro punto fuerte de este trabajo es la utilización de secciones de acero tubulares que no es de uso frecuente en Perú ya que se prefiere el uso de secciones tipo W de acero. En sí, en Perú la gran mayoría de puentes peatonales son de concreto. Por otro lado, las verificaciones dictadas por normativas como la AASHTO LRFD, que se encuentra asimilada por el Manual de Puentes (2018) emitido por el Ministerio de Transporte y Comunicaciones, hace hincapié en el uso de una guía especializada para el caso de pasarelas peatonales. / The aim of the present thesis is to make a comparative analysis of the structural behavior of the pedestrian bridge of Steel, which elements follow AASHTO LRFD indications concerning their geometry. In this investigation, data from a site job were used in order to perform of a comparative analysis. All this due to the fact of obtaining results that could resemble Peruvian context. Moreover, because of the structural configuration of the pedestrian bridge, the horizontal forces ended up being greater that the vertical ones. Al these led to the decision of using piles to counter heavy horizontal forces. Concerning the superstructures, hollow steel section (HSS) were used for the analysis. In Perú most of pedestrian bridges are made with concrete and even if for some reason steel was determined as the main material for the structural, W sections a frequently use in comparison of HSS. Finally, once the analysis is performed then the verifications dictated by AASHTO LRFD (well assimilated now by Peruvian Bridge Manual), will allow us to validate our results. / Tesis

It is vital that Turkey keep abreast of developments in the world and build up its technology to become a developed country. Steel construction is one of these areas. In this context, the main purpose of this study was to define, analyze and evaluate the general characteristics of structural steel and steel construction with the purpose of throwing new light on its advantages and disadvantages. Within this framework, a literature survey was conducted on structural steel components and structures / and on steel construction in Turkey. Additionally, a case study was carried out on a steel office building in Ankara. In this, the T&uuml / rkiye Esnaf ve Sanatkar Kredi Kefalet Kooperatifleri Merkez Birligi (TESKOMB) Building was investigated in terms of the design and production criteria for steel structures and to determine problems faced during these processes. As a result of this study, the existing condition of the construction sector and the means to improve use of structural steel in Turkey were discussed more realistically.
