Abstract

n the city of Azogues. between Av. Ignacio Neira and Andrés F. Córdova, on Av. Aurelio Jararnillo is located on a bridge, which presents discomfort due to vibrations that occur in the superstructure. From the direct deductive method applied in the present titling work, it is intended to carry out an improvement of the bridge's superstructure, which is carried out through the approach of two design proposals, the first consisting of metal beams and the second of metal beams. reinforced concrete and subsequently a comparative economic analysis was carried out. The main advantage of the two types of materials is the ability to overcome obstacles through large spans, these designs They were carried out following the regulations and technical aspects with which a more rational design is guaranteed, in terms of cost-benefit. Due to the prices that exist in our environment for steel, the use of prestressed concrete for the construction of the bridge under study is more economical.
