Evaluación de la temperatura superficial en dos puentes ubicados uno sobre la calle 26 en Bogotá (Av. Rojas con calle 26) y el otro ubicado en la Rotonda de Siberia – Cota en la Vía Bogotá – La Vega Cundinamarca

Abstract

In the design of structures such as bridges, it is important to take into account different characteristics that can influence their construction, such as the type of structure that is most convenient, the ideal materials, among many other factors that may arise. For our research topic we have taken as a starting point the analysis of the thermal gradient in two vehicle bridge-type structures and what is the influence that this has on the structure, for this a data collection campaign has been carried out in situ for 20 days on each bridge and the respective analysis of each one was carried out, in the same way a numerical modeling was, a carried out with data obtained from the El Dorado meteorological station, once the analysis of both groups of data was compared obtaining similar results in both places and that allow us to have a clear concept of how temperature acts and the effects that it can produce on the structure when it causes it to expand and contract as a result of temperature changes. The objective of this project is to collect data on the influence of the thermal gradient in these structures, since in Colombia there is no regulated regulation of the factors to take into account when making these designs.
