Abstrait: |
The solution for the piers replacement of three bridges, integrated into the road network of Aguieira’s dam in Portugal is presented. The piers’ shafts and footings had severe pathologies due to concrete alkali-silica reactions, namely extensive longitudinal cracking, therefore making it necessary to repair or replace the piers. The works were performed in very particular conditions. These constraints have been overcome with the construction of new hollow section pier shafts, jacketing the old ones. The use of prefabricated footings and pier shafts with a sliding technic allowed to avoid the construction of cofferdams. The new footings were supported on micropiles. This construction method has proven to be an economical, low-intrusive and easy to implement solution, enabling the maintenance of traffic over the bridges during the construction period. |
