| Abstrakt: |
The viaduct No. 1 located on the Caracas-La Guaira highway was affected by a landslide thrust detected in 1987. The structure consisted of three parallel double-hinged arch ribs built without longitudinal reinforcement, spanning over 152 m., and two approach viaducts located at either side of the arch rib span. This paper summarizes the rehabilitation measures conducted on the structure to extend its service life, which included the construction of redundant gravity and lateral load resisting systems, external post-tensioning of the arch ribs and the design of a plastic hinge at the crown of the ribs. |
