Abstract

The next work is focused on the DESIGN OF THE SUPERSTRUCTURE OF A PRE-STRESSED CONCRETE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AT THE HEIGHT OF THE "Y DE SARACAY". This area there is a large vehicular and pedestrian influx which comes from the different cantons of the upper part, as well as the province of Loja, for this reason it is necessary to design a pedestrian bridge that guarantees the safety of people when crossing the road. The design of the superstructure is based on the application of the technical specifications for prestressed concrete structures, it will be designed according to the current regulations detailed in the American Concrete Institute (ACI-318S). In this project, the main structural elements of the bridge will be specifically designed, such as beams, slabs and complementary elements such as railings, curbs, stairs, with the aforementioned regulations and technical specifications, the design of each structural element will be carried out step by step, attaching the memory of corresponding calculation.
