Comportamento estrutural de pontes com protensão no extradorso. / Structural behavior of extradosed bridges.

Santos, Daniel Miranda dos 13 July 2006 (has links)
Nos últimos anos, a protensão externa aplicada a estruturas de pontes tem evoluído de forma excepcional, o que permite maior liberdade de projeto e, consequentemente, possibilita o surgimento de novas tipologias estruturais. Um exemplo desse desenvolvimento é a ponte com protensão no extradorso, que começa a se difundir no meio técnico como uma transição econômica entre as pontes de concreto protendido e as estaiadas. A idéia, atribuída ao engenheiro francês Jacques Mathivat, consiste em utilizar protensão externa sobre os apoios intermediários, com o auxílio de pequenas torres. Neste trabalho é apresentada uma revisão bibliográfica ampla sobre os diversos tipos de pontes com emprego de protensão, visando focar nos aspectos importantes e que auxiliam no entendimento do comportamento estrutural das pontes com protensão no extradorso. É realizado, também, um estudo da flutuação de tensão nos cabos de protensão, com vistas à fadiga dos mesmos, que é um fator de extrema importância. Além disso, é realizado um vasto estudo paramétrico de diversos tipos de modelos estruturais, que têm por objetivo um aprofundamento da compreensão do comportamento estrutural das pontes com protensão no extradorso, sendo que, a partir da análise dos resultados obtidos, foram sugeridos alguns critérios de projeto. / In recent years, external prestressing applied to structures of bridges has experienced exceptional development, permitting a greater freedom in design and, consequently, the appearance of new structural typologies. An exemple of such development is the extradosed bridge, a concept that begins to spread in technical media as a low cost transition between prestressed concrete bridges and cable-stayed bridges. The idea, which should be attributed to French engineer Jacques Mathivat, consists of using external prestressing at intermediate supports, with the help of small towers. In this work, a comprehensive review of the literature about different types of bridges using prestressing is presented, aiming at the important aspects that help us understand the structural behavior of extradosed bridges. A study of stress fluctuation in prestressing cables is also presented, having in mind fatigue, an extremely important factor. Besides, an ample parametric study of different types of structural arrangements is performed, with the purpose of having a deeper understanding of the structural behavior of extradosed bridges. Analysis of the results led to suggesting some desing criteria.

Behaviour and Design of Extradosed Bridges

Mermigas, Konstantinos Kris 24 February 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to provide insight into how different geometric parameters such as tower height, girder depth, and pier dimensions influence the structural behaviour, cost, and feasibility of an extradosed bridge. A study of 51 extradosed bridges shows the variability in proportions and use of extradosed bridges, and compares their material quantities and structural characteristics to girder and cable-stayed bridges. The strategies and factors that must be considered in the design of an extradosed bridge are discussed. Two cantilever constructed girder bridges, an extradosed bridge with stiff girder, and an extradosed bridge with stiff tower are designed for a three span bridge with central span of 140 m. The structural behaviour, materials utilisation, and costs of each bridge are compared. Providing stiffness either in the girder or in the piers of an extradosed bridge are both found to be effective stategies that lead to competitive designs.
