METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN INTEGRAL BRIDGE, AND INTEGRAL BRIDGE
20200248414 · 2020-08-06 ·

A first arch and second arch are produced in respective first and second structural portions. Each arch has a tie rod interconnecting the foot points of the arch, where a foot point of the arch is displaceably mounted. Each tie rod is tensioned so that horizontal forces caused by the weight of the arches at the foot points of the corresponding arch, are taken up by the tie rods. A first end point of the tie rod of the first arch is connected in a force-fitting manner to the first abutment, and a second end point of the tie rod of a last arch is connected in a force-fitting manner to the second abutment. The remaining adjoining end points of the tie rods are connected to one another in a force-fitting manner, and corresponding foot points of the arches are connected in a force-fitting manner to the abutments and pillar.

There is provided a measurement device including a data acquisition unit that acquires pieces of first to third data output from first to third sensors provided on a structure, an abnormality determination unit that determines whether or not each of the sensors is abnormal, a moving object detection unit that detects a moving object based on at least one of the first data and the second data, and a displacement amount calculation unit that calculates a displacement amount of the structure based on the third data, in which, when the first sensor provided on a main girder closest to an i-th lane of the structure or a main girder second closest to the i-th lane is not abnormal, the moving object detection unit detects the moving object moving on the i-th lane based on the first data output from the first sensor.

IMPROVED ASSEMBLY COMPRISING A STRUCTURAL CABLE AND A SADDLE
20200199831 · 2020-06-25 ·

The assembly comprises a structural cable comprising tendons (12) and a saddle deflecting the structural cable between the two ends thereof. The saddle comprises a body (18), conduits (24) formed in the body and each receiving one of the tendons of the cable, and two anchoring devices (20) which anchor the tendons by defining a first portion of the structural cable received in the saddle, where the tendons are subject to a prestressed tension that is constant over time and at least one second portion of the structural cable where the tendons are subject to tensions that are variable over time. An anchoring device (20) comprises an anchoring plate (28) comprising anchoring openings (36) each receiving one of the tendons, and wedges (30) each received in a respective anchoring opening of the anchoring plate in order to lock one of the tendons of the structural cable. The anchoring plate (28) has a rear surface bearing against the body (18).

Method for installing a tensioning element in an anchor block, holder, in particular for carrying out the method and combination of a holder with a prestressing element

A method for installing a prestressing element in an anchor block, in which the prestressing element is attached to a holder, includes the holder being moved to the anchor block, the prestressing element being introduced into a through-opening of the anchor block, and the prestressing element being fixed to the anchor block. The holder can be attached to the prestressing element at a distance which is selected so that the length of the projection of the prestressing element on the side of the holder facing the anchor block is greater than the length of a portion of the prestressing element, which is required for introducing the prestressing element into the through-opening and fixing the prestressing element to the anchor block.
