Guba Road Viaduct at km 8 + 382.172

Load test of S3 and S6 bridges and revamping after test failure.

Category: Revamping of existing structures
Services: Final Design
Period: June 2017 – December 2018
Client: WeBuild

The bridge at km 8 + 382.172 on the road axis called Guba Road is composed of several spans in a single support scheme with variable length: the free spans are 15 + 20 + 15 m.

The bridge at km 8 + 382.172 on the road axis called Guba Road is composed of several spans in a single support scheme with variable length: the free spans are 15 + 20 + 15 m.

The deck, entirely made of reinforced concrete poured on site, is composed of 4 longitudinal beams 1400×360 mm and an inclined slab 200 mm thick.
During the loading test, abnormal deflections were measured and diagonal shear cracks appeared due to the poor quality of the materials used.

During the loading test, abnormal deflections were measured and diagonal shear cracks appeared due to the poor quality of the materials used.

It was therefore necessary to carry out the shear reinforcement of the longitudinal beams, which was carried out by “lining” the beams themselves with very high strength concrete (Rck 65 MPa) to a thickness of 50 mm, after removal of the concrete cover.

Bridge on the River Magra

Reconstruction of the reinforced concrete structures of the left abutment of the bridge.

Category: Revamping of existing structures
Services: Final Design
Period: January 2010 – March 2010
Client: Studio L&M Provincia della Spezia
Amount: €320,000.00 (Category Ig) – €125,000.00 (Category IXc)

Work carried out after the failure caused by the flooding of the Magra river in December 2009. The left abutment is statically independent of the reinforced concrete bridge so that its failure did not affect the statics of the bridge itself.

On the occasion of the reconstruction of the abutment in high emergency mode, a seismic reinforcement was also carried out to constitute an effective longitudinal constraint for the deck before its final reconstruction.

One Wilton Park

Executive design of the T10 glass shelter.

Category: Curtain walls
Services: Final detailed design
Period: December 2016 – May 2018
Client: Permasteelisa

The T10 canopy is part of the construction of the new One Wilton Park management complex in Dublin. The shelter is made up of 4 tubular columns 7m high with 4.5m center-to-center distance which support a box-section spine beam onto which the variable-height T-section cantilevers are inserted. Glazed panels in float glass are placed between the various “blades”. The canopy is also linked to the main structure by means of tubular struts that limit its vertical flexibility.

All structural details are designed to minimize the architectural impact: the joint cover plates of the blades are made with special pins and the bolted connection between the column and the spine beam is entirely concealed. The impluvium of the roof is identified by the spine beam that houses the drainage channel, while the downspout is hidden in the column protected by a stainless steel carter.

The modular facades called «Jardin» and «Rue» have a supporting structure with aluminium mullions and transoms, with a typical module measuring 3168 mm x 3240 mm. The deformation behaviour for the edge beams of the building, on which the supporting structure of the facade will be placed, was also evaluated.

There are also transom and upright facades of various geometries in the patio, hall and in the strip that includes the ground floor and first floor.
Particularly interesting is the aerodynamic behaviour of the double skin system and in particular of the micro-perforated blades, inclined in plan, which has been studied through analytical formulations and studies in the wind tunnel.

Expansion of the “ONAV” shipyard and “H1” building

Final detailed design of the foundation and elevation structures of ONAV extension and new building H1.

Category: Industrial Buildings
Services: Final detailed design
Period: June 2019 – February 2020
Client: Fincantieri Infrastructure

Structural design of the extension of the 5 spans of the Fincantieri 279 building called ONAV or Officina Navale and of the H1 building, planned for the logistical reorganization of the FINCANTIERI plant in Monfalcone (GO).
The ONAV structure has dimensions in plan of approximately 175.00 x 30.00 m.
The load-bearing structures are built in homogeneity with the existing ones, while being independent and detached from them. The columns of the portals are hinged to the foot in longitudinal direction to create a longitudinal pendular pattern. Each portal is closed by a top trussed crosspiece. In each span there is a runway, supporting two overhead cranes, with a span of 20.00 m.

The new H 1 shed, with dimensions of 255.00 x 25.55 m in plan and about 20.00 m in height, has a roof that is identical and aligned with the shape of the existing Panel Line C shed.
Externally, protruding from the main volume, there are two canopies. In the H1 extension, three longitudinal blocks can be recognized, all with a width of 25.00m, and a length of the single variable between 60.00m and 101.00 m . The structure consists of load-bearing columns made up of pairs of HE profiles, connected with trusses, on which the roof structure is erected. Inside there are two runways (one for each longitudinal side) resting on the main columns, on which the sliding of 4 overhead cranes with a maximum capacity of 30 tons at the hook is foreseen.
