Structural Layout and Slab
Structural Layout and Slab
These works are part of the overall plan for the upgrading of the Sassari Olbia Route Lot 7, located at 62+396 km.
The new deck is a continuous composite steel-concrete system truss with a twin-beam, 8-span layout with 42.5 m spans and a slightly curved plan layout with a constant radius.
The concrete slab accommodates the road platform for a total width of 13.01 m and 12.33 m, for the north and south carriageways, respectively; it is frame worked on the main beams, placed at a centre distance of 8.40 m, and cast in place on self-supporting concrete predalles with a thickness of 6 cm, until a total thickness of 30 cm is reached after additional casting.
Deck Structure and Assembly
Deck Structure and Assembly
The beams have a constant height of 2.20 m and are connected by cross beams with a double-T section placed at a maximum centre distance of 6.5 m, as well as by an upper bracing in the form of a St Andrew’s cross.
The diaphragms on the abutments work together with the slab by means of dowelling; this works together to stiffen the slab at the structural break with the gravel guard, greatly limiting differential vertical deformations between the guard and the slab due to the transit of vehicles over the junction.
Assembly of the deck is carried out by lifting the individual beams from below with the aid of a crane truck, after assembly of the segments on the ground.
