Levantamiento de datos topográficos de los elementos geométricos de la estructura del puente peatonal de la Universidad Técnica de Machala

Abstract

A study was carried out in which a topographic survey of the pedestrian bridge of the Technical University of Machala, located on the Panamerican Avenue Km. 5 1/2 Via Pasaje -outside the premises of the UTMACH- was performed. The method used for this work was the use of the Total Station of the brand -(South NTS-362R- which allowed us to determine points of all the elements of the bridge in order to perform the 3D modeling of the structure for which we made use of the CIVIL 3D software that was very helpful and which facilitated the time to enter and represent the points taken in the field by the station. The results obtained from this study were very good and allowed us to collect necessary information for future technical analysis that will be of great importance for the bridge structure. We must also highlight the importance that was achieved through reading scientific articles, magazines and books related to our topic of study, thus acquiring and reinforcing new knowledge. We would also like to acknowledge and thank our teachers for everything we have learned during the course of our studies, since this way we achieved our desired goal, which is to become a Civil Engineer.
