Viadotto Rabbi

The viaduct over the Rabbi river is included in the section Km 1+930.59 and Km 2+141.67 of the new ring road system of Forlì, connecting the ring road East – Lot 3.
The work consists of a bridge over 3 spans of spans equal to 58.58, 94.30 and 58.20 m; it houses a road platform with a constant width of 10.5 m and two side curbs, on which a road safety barrier is mounted, with a width of 0.75 m; in addition to the curbs, there is a net space of 0.95 m used as a service sidewalk.

The structure consists of a grid of steel beams with two main beams arranged parallel along the development axis of the viaduct and by crosspieces orthogonal to the main beams with a regular pitch of about 5 m on which rests a roadway slab with a thickness equal to 21cm + 6cm of predalles. The two main metal beams have a double T cross section of variable height from 4 m (lowest value recorded in the span) up to 6.00 m (maximum value recorded in axis with the pile).
The bridge has 2 central reinforced concrete piers in which allow the Rabbi River to be crossed with the maximum span and two traditional reinforced concrete abutments.
The foundations of piers and abutments are made using 120 cm diameter piles with a length of 28 m for the abutments and 100 cm diameter piles and 30 m long for the piles.

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.

The layout is partly straight and partly curved; the longitudinal profile is a ramp with a constant slope. Each deck is made up of 2 metal beams 1.70 m high; the metal beams are reconstituted welded profiles.
The beams are connected to a fully prefabricated reinforced concrete slab 30 cm thick. Each beam rests on a laminated elastomer bearing. Four of the metal spacers are used.

Common type except C5-C6, C11 and C12, C5-C6, C11 and C12 type (before and after pier spacers), pier type and abutment type. The framework of the deck will be assembled on site and then moved by SPMT and, finally, set up by crane using pairs of cranes. Once the deck has been placed on temporary supports, the prefabricated slabs will be put in place. The deck will be completed by concreting the keying strips and completely deck finishes and equipment.

The insertion of the structure in a zone strongly constrained by the interfering roads, imposed severe limitations on the heights of the beams ( Hmax = 1.1 m) , an aspect that led to thick flanges (maximum thickness 80 mm) and consequently required the imposition of important cambers (300 mm for the external beam on the “Macon” side).
