Evaluación de la temperatura superficial del puente vehicular de terreros en el municipio de Soacha, Cundinamarca

Abstract

To design, plan and build a vehicular structure, civil engineering focuses on the specificities contained in the international standard AASHTO LRFD, which Colombia adjusts to the national reality through CCP-2014, aimed at promoting technically efficient structures subject to criteria ethical-professionals, that improve communication and local and national mobility, that attend to variations in temperature depending on the region in which the design is projected. Meeting current regulations necessarily leads to thinking about the endogenous and exogenous influences to which the structure is subjected, to consider the incidence of these elements in the deterioration. Evaluating the variation of the temperature in the vehicular bridge of Terreros Soacha, needs an approach to the normative consideration applied for this mixed bridge (concrete and steel), subjected to thermal gradients produced by environmental factors that impact on the area (ambient temperature, radiation solar, wind speed, rainfall, cloud cover, among others), not contemplated in the Colombian technical standard. The objective is to evaluate the behavior of the thermal variation in the vehicular structure of Terreros (Soacha), to provide reference information to the design temperatures of mixed structure bridges, comparing the results obtained in the field using the FLIR ONE PRO thermal camera and those obtained through the application of the numerical model.
