VEHICULAR CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE WITH SEISMIC ISOLATORS

INTRODUCCIÓN
The function of a bridge is to save a geographical feature (river) in
a safe way. However, natural disasters (earthquakes) make this
task very complex for civil engineers. There are ways to counteract
this action and one of them is the use of seismic isolators, for this
case applied to a reinforced concrete bridge.

OBJECTIVES
• Create a cable-stayed bridge with sismal insulators on a scale of
1/50.
• Properly perform the construction process of a cable-stayed bridge
• The bridge presents a high resistance to compression and traction
which will depend on the amount of concrete and steel respectively.
• Seismic insulators reduce the effect of telluric movements and
braces work to compression and traction.

KEYWORDS:
• friction isolators, elastomeric isolators, seismic isolation, nonlinear dynamic analysis, seismic demand.

METHODOLOGY

Excavation Casting of concrete dies Stirrup Steel

Post-tensioned

Placement of the structure Laying of prefabricated slabs Emptying of slab

CONCLUSIONS AND APPLICATIONS IN PERU

The use of seismic isolators modifies the dynamic response of the bridge in terms of vibration modes since, for
the bridge without isolation, the main modes are longitudinal, while for the bridge with insulation systems the
first mode is in the longitudinal direction and the second mode of vibration is in the transverse direction.
