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

Abstract

One of the most important works in road construction are vehiculares bridges, whose structure must be evaluated from time to time because they are subjected to great loads and meteorological factors than degraded ones, in this way it seeks to guarantee their functionality and safety. One of the first steps for these structural evaluations is to have information about the topography of the bridge, Based on the aforementioned, this work is focused on a topographic study for the characterization of the elements of the vehicular bridge of the Universidad Técnica de Machala located on the Av. Panamericana Km 5 1/2 via a Pasaje, through a topographic survey with a total station and a 3d modeling in the AutoCAD Civil 3D software, in order to obtain topographic information of the structure, the importance of having these topographic data such as coordinates and dimensions of the structural elements of the bridge allow us to use this information for further analysis and environmental studies to structural behavior and as a consequence raised proposals for improvement or redesign of the structure.
