Análisis paramétrico del puente Norton de Londres el fortalecimiento de la metodología de monitoreo de salud estructural.

Abstract

Currently many civil works are at the end of their useful life due to prolonged use or lack of maintenance; in order to improve the praxis of resource management and maintenance this report seeks to establish a comprehensive numerical modeling of a bridge in London so that its behavior is predictable, and it is possible to simulate its response to various events. The resources that were used for the present project were mainly a finite element analysis software and the data provided by those who monitor the bridge, taking into consideration patterns and calculation values in the European and English standards. The use of the software allowed the realization of a model that can be used to show the parameters that are expected to influence during the useful life of the bridge itself, mentioning local instability, masses, inertias, initial and boundary conditions, among others. The simulation performed with the finite element model based on the delivered measurements can be considered satisfactory to continue a parameterization process.
