Abstract

Regarding the first-level roads it must be guaranteed that the structures that make them up ensure the conditions of service for permanent traffic. This is the case of the road on which the Caño Menegua Bridge is located, to which the present pathology study is carried out to establish the current state of the structure, make the diagnosis and propose the interventions that the different components of the bridge require to guarantee its stability and durability. In this pathology study, different activities are carried out such as visual inspection of the structure, tests to characterize the materials, clinical history of the structure, diagnosis, vulnerability study and proposal of alternative interventions for the structure. With this study it is found that the slab of the deck does not require intervention, however the beams must be reinforced; Of the proposed alternatives, the use of external post-tensioning is the most favorable. Maintenance activities are also recommended.
