Ponte sull’Adige varo

The bridge over the River Adige is composed by a single span of 81.4m with a bowstring arch supporting a 6.5m-wide carriageway, a pedestrian walkway and a cycle path.
It consists of a straight steel deck with an orthotropic plate, supported by a single steel archinclined at 20° from the vertical and located laterally, in an eccentric position with respect to the longitudinal axis. The arch has an irregular pentagonal box and a jib of 13.5 m from the deck. The arch-bridge connection is made by means of welded I-shaped hangers with variable section.

The deck consists of a multi-cellular box with 5 webs and a maximum height of 1.6m with diaphragms spaced by 3.3m. The cycle path and the pedestrian walkway, with an effective width of 2.8m and 2.5m, are supported by I-section cantilevers with variable height and placed in correspondence of the diaphragms. The pedestrian path progressively distances itself from the roadway proceeding towards the centre line.

Ponte di Thionville

The main structure has a total length of approximately 309 meters and consists of two separate decks. The first deck “(C0-P2” has a plan layout with a radius of curvature of 50.0m and develops over two spans of 34m + 52 m for a total length of 86 m. The deck “P2-C7” has a rectilinear route over 5 spans (58 + 42 + 39 + 48.5 +34 m) for a length of 222 m.
The platform has a total width of approximately 16m, divided into a central part of 7.00 meters wide for the BHLS, a cycle-pedestrian path 5.00 meters wide and 1 sidewalk 2.45 meters wide.

The 1.89 m high cross section is made by a metal box with four webs. Metal slabs lean on the upper flanges and have the function of permanent formwork for the rounding of a reinforced concrete slab 27 cm thick. The connection between footings and slab is ensured by rungs. The reinforced concrete slabs located on the overhangs are made by prefabricated semi-slabs with concreting completely on site. The overhangs are supported by variable-height steel brackets located in correspondence of the standard struts and bridge parts.
The overall weight is approximately 2000 tonnes, of which 600 relate to the curved section alone.
Two laminated elastomer bearings are located on all the piers or abutments; the C0-P2 deck in correspondence of the alignments P2 and C0 on the curved internal side, has special anti-lifting bearings.

La nuova tangenziale esterna di San Pietroburgo è un’opera di dimensioni ciclopiche che nasce per risolvere il congestionamento del traffico stradale nel centro città: l’orografia della città, costituita da un agglomerato di isole collegate fra loro da ponti stradali, ha reso necessario il ricorso a un tracciato esterno alternativo alla viabilità ordinaria, realizzato in buona parte direttamente sul mare.

La nuova tangenziale esterna di San Pietroburgo è un’opera di dimensioni ciclopiche che nasce per risolvere il congestionamento del traffico stradale nel centro città: l’orografia della città, costituita da un agglomerato di isole collegate fra loro da ponti stradali, ha reso necessario il ricorso a un tracciato esterno alternativo alla viabilità ordinaria, realizzato in buona parte direttamente sul mare.

Dei quasi 12 km costituenti la sezione centrale del WHSD, oggetto del presente appalto, quasi 10 sono costituite da strutture off shore: 2 ponti strallati, un tunnel sotterraneo e una serie di impalcati a travata realizzati direttamente in mare e per tale ragione montati con varo frontale.
L’oggetto del nostro intervento ha riguardato i viadotti stradali in struttura mista della carreggiata sinistra e destra per la Yard 3.1, realizzati con travate continua di 5 campate e luci pari a 105 m x 4 + 108 m. Le attività svolte hanno riguardato la validazione del progetto esecutivo di varo fornito dal general contractor e la redazione del piano di varo da utilizzare operativamente in cantiere durante le fasi di assemblaggi e varo. Abbiamo poi fornito assistenza al cantiere per l’approvazione della documentazione a corredo del varo e durante le fasi di varo e di calaggio degli impalcati metallici.

IL PROGETTO

Conoscenza dei sistemi di montaggio.

In ragione di un varo attuato interamente su pile situate in riva al mare, il montaggio è stato particolarmente complesso su molti fronti, legati:

  • alla logistica del cantiere
  • alla tipologia di impalcato varato di punta nonostante un tracciato planimetrico in doppia clotoide
  • alla tipologia di attrezzature previste dal progetto di varo del GC, ossia rulliere idrauliche per l’adattamento alla variabilità della livelletta e la pesatura delle reazioni dotate anche di sistemi di traslazione in orizzontale per assecondare l’andamento planimetrico del tracciato.

Le attività di validazione del progetto hanno consentito da un lato di verificare la correttezza delle assunzioni fatte nel progetto del GC e dall’altro di completare le parti in cui tale progetto non forniva le informazioni necessarie al cantiere per le procedure operative e di controllo delle diverse fasi di avanzamento del treno di varo.

La conoscenza approfondita dei sistemi di varo e delle relative attrezzature ci ha permesso di tradurre in elaborati operativi per il cantiere le informazioni del progetto di varo, mettendo a disposizione dell’equipe di montaggio un documento esaustivo delle procedure operative e dei processi di controllo durante le fasi di varo, in cui si evidenziano le operazioni e i passaggi più critici e si integrano le procedure nelle parti in cui il progetto del GC non risultava esaustivo.

Launching and prefabrication equipment for three rail viaducts made of prestressed reinforced concrete for extrusion on the prefabrication field with a box-section. The most significant work is the VI 12 viaduct, built with a continuous beam scheme with 8 spans and spans equal to approximately 36 m, 6 x 45 m, 36 m respectively, for a total of approximately 342 m. The route of the viaduct develops in a curve with a constant radius of curvature, equal to 3’200 m along the layout axis. The VI 6 viaduct, on the other hand, is spread over 4 spans of 36 m, 2 x 45 m, 36 m for a total of 162 m. The launching equipment consists of the launching nose with a length of approximately 38 (made with two I-section beams of variable height and equipped with diaphragms and lower bracing),
from the rear beak for the final push phases, from the temporary supports with lateral restraints and from the push group in correspondence with the throwing abutment. The prefabrication field extends for about 50 m and is made up of the support structures for the bottom and side formworks, the lateral sides and all the moving elements of the sides and bottoms.
