Análise da influência da presença de transversinas intermediárias na superestrutura de uma ponte em concreto armado

Abstract

In this final paper is parsed as the presence, or not, of intermediate diaphragms can influence the behavior of the superstructure of a bridge in reinforced concrete. The goal is to analyze how the efforts in support of the stringers, the tensions (normal and shear), and offsets, in all the elements of the superstructure, vary in the presence of the intermediate diaphragms. Use theoretical references that serve as a foundation for the construction of that final paper as analytical theories and methods of structural analysis. Are all the details of the model used, as well as the calculations for the loads acting on it (permanent loads, live load and wind load). The model of the bridge is analyzed by a finite element method software, known as Ansys, which simulated the behavior of the bridge on all shipments. The data obtained through the software, are presented and discussed in order to answer what is the ideal number of intermediate diaphragms, in between that should be applied to the bridge model chosen.
