Monitoring and Evaluation of a Highway Bridge During Major Rehabilitation
After a severe accident, El Carrizo Bridge reported extensive damage and was closed to traffic. This bridge is on the Mazatlán-Durango highway, which is an important route for tourism and commerce in the northwest region of Mexico; for that reason, it was a priority to open traffic and reduce the economic impact estimated at more than USD 250,000 per day. To address the emergency and recover the traffic on the highway, even partially, the authorities proposed a two-stage rehabilitation strategy; the first stage, to build two provisional lanes to allow traffic under restricted conditions and, the second, to rehabilitate the bridge with the provisional lanes in operation. The previous strategy put forward several safety challenges and required the installation of a SHM system with a permanent evaluation to assure structural and operational conditions. This work describes the way that specialists designed the monitoring system and the evaluation strategy, based on the conditions of the rehabilitation works and processes.
