Description
Summary:This article describes the construction in Cannes of the third section of an overpass bridging a number of railway tracks and platforms, achieving the supression of many curves in the coastal highway and this without Interfering with city traffic. For this third section the construction method chosen was a metal structure, despite the fact that the two previous sections were built in concrete. This overpass section has 15 spans, 14 of them are solved with a grid of welded beams supporting reinforced concrete slabs while the remaining span is a grid of laminated beams on concrete. The total amount of steel used was 3360 Tm, aside from the foundations and decking reinforcements. Se describe en este artículo la construcción, en Cannes, de la tercera fase de un paso elevado realizado sobre andenes y vías de ferrocarril, con el que se consigue eliminar una serle de curvas de la carretera costera y, además, no interferir el tráfico en la ciudad. Para este tercer tramo se eligió la construcción a base de estructura metálica, a pesar de que los dos tramos anteriores eran de hormigón. Se construyeron 15 vanos, de los cuales 14 de ellos llevan un emparrillado de vigas soldadas con losas de hormigón armado y el otro es un emparrillado de vigas laminadas sobre hormigón. El total de acero utilizado fue de 3.360 t sin contar las armaduras de los cimientos y de los tableros.
