Supervisión de la construcción del puente 16 de la unidad funcional UF 4 del proyecto vial autopista al mar 2 Colombia

Resumen

This work shows the construction of bridge 16 of the functional unit UF 4 of the highway project Autopista al Mar 2 Colombia, made up of six functional units, which cover a length of 254 kilometers, between the municipalities of Cañasgordas and Necoclí, in Antioquia. This work was contracted with the company Épsilon Ingeniería y Desarrollo S.A.S., domiciled in the city of Ibagué. The bridge to be built is a successive cantilever bridge named K41 + 500, located between the municipality of Dabeiba and Mutatá located in the Urabá sub-region, in the department of Antioquia. The Cooperative University of Colombia, Ibagué - Espinal Headquarters, authorizes the practitioner to carry out technical and administrative supervision with the aforementioned construction company. The necessary processes are shown starting with the excavations for the caissons and the construction of these. Subsequently, the footings and support piles for the superstructure to make way for the construction of the post-tensioned segments that constitute the bridge's circulation platform. The process of construction of the segments is supported by the operation of the advance carriages to support the cantilevers on which the next segment will be supported. The inconveniences that arose during the different construction processes and the way in which they were faced and solved are also presented. The practice period was sufficient to be present throughout the bridge construction process, leaving only the construction of the closing segment pending.
