OPTIMIZACIÓN EN EL ÁREA ESTRUCTURAS: APLICACIÓN A LOS TABLEROS DE PUENTES DE CARRETERA CONSTITUIDOS POR ELEMENTOS PREFABRICADOS DE HORMIGÓN.

Abstract

An application/database is proposed where having classified a large number of case studies of highway bridges which board is constituted by prefabricated concrete double T and trough beams. These bridges are calculated and developed following some necessary variables to define the construction: board wide, main span, skew, location, characteristics of materials, environment. The main objective of this tool is get the structure’s cost and optimize the time of the structure design and the viability of it from the initial stage of the project (draft). In this way it can be allowed a better approach of this solution in an easy and fast way. As additional objectives, it is considered to generate different scenarios changing the values of different variables for reaching from the program structural calculations, drawings and measurements for the realization of the basic project. This tool can be very useful for engineering’s or consultant’s offices or consultancies. It can save much time and money in the realization of stages which are necessary to writing structural projects.
