• Verification test of stress load

22. 59
Verification test of stress load in the arches of cable-stayed Bridge
o The calculation of the tension (axial force in the stay cable) is carried out from the frequency
records generated in each wire vibration trial, that are obtained from the signal analysis of the
installed sensors using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the application of the Theory of the
Vibrating Wire, ignoring the own bending stiffness of cables:
o This test is particularly suitable for the operating phase of cable-stayed structures, because it
avoids the execution of intrusive and /or destructive trials for the determination of the stress
load, with the consequent maintenance cost reduction
T = k*f2
T = Axil load (N)

The purpose of the monitoring system has been to control the behavior of the structures during the construction period,
being the main objective to ensure the safety in work, not only facing buildings or nearby structures, but also facing the
workers themselves, maintainers and users.
During the execution of the Remodeling Works of the Passeig de Gràcia metro station in Barcelona, the Railway
Infrastructure Administrator (ADIF), has requested Eptisa Instrumentation and Control, to develop the implementation of a
Monitoring System, whose purpose is to control the behavior of the support structures, shielded enclosure, underground
structures, land and the affections that said works may generate to the nearby dwellings, during the different phases of
construction, the main objective being to guarantee the safety of the work, not only of face buildings or nearby structures,
but also facing the operators themselves, maintenance personnel and users.
For this, about 60 control devices have been
installed distributed among inclinometers,
pressure cells, vibrating rope extensometers,
geopos and automatic stations for control
inside the tunnel, in order to obtain
information regarding the reactions of the
land and structures.
The results of the measurements of these
devices are presented daily to the client
through the SAyTL - WEB acquisition and
control system, designed and developed by
Eptisa Instrumentation and Control, allowing
to have all the information related to the
control of the work, quickly and updated.
The data achieved in each of the devices were automatized, semi automatized or manually collected, depending on the
sensor type; and they were managed in a SCADA configured with alert threshold and web visualization by the client.
Supply and installation of the monitoring system consisted of the
installation of
 inclinometers (INC) in screens and micropiles,
 vibrating wire extensometers in the struts,
 total pressure cells (TPC) in the strut contact, display
module,
 leveling milestones in the screen lining,
 leveling strips in the façade of the nearby buildings,
 geophones in the front of the works,
 topographical prisms to control coordinates and
confluences by means of the automatized station in the
affected tunnel and
 the total pressure cells in the shoring of the structure
lobby and vault.

Detailed description of project Type of services provided
During the execution of the works of Stabilization of soil settlements of the Viaduct of Pont de Candi (413 m, 10 spans, 7
piles) over an embankment (33m heigh, 400 m length) , EPTISA IIC, has implemented an extensive Monitoring System, in
order to control the ground of foundation, the body of the landfill, the drain structure, the blocking structures of piles, as
well as the already built structures and the new ones executed.
A total of 340 instrumentation devices have been installed. Electrical-type sensors data (340 units) are automatically
acquire by the SAYTL real-time control system developed by EPTISA IIC.
 Structure control: tilt meters in piles, topographic prism, strain gage extensometers, fissure meter. The most of
the structure control devices signal are centralized in a control station which store external data and send different
alarm states to the designed authority.
 Embankment control: inclinometer, sliding sensors, settlements markers, settlements plates, earth pressure cells.
 Natural soil control: inclinometers, piezometers, extensometers, sliding sensors.
 A wide topography leveling network has been implemented controlling more than 200 points in terrain and
structures.
All data was automatically received in real-time in our premises, analyzed and report to Client Technical Offices.
The System has been designed and implemented with the foresight to keep it operational in the long term, covering the
life of exploitation of the Viaduct itself.
The scope of works also includes the geotechnical and structural monitoring of several tunnels: Lilla (2.065 m), Camp
Magre (984m) and Puig Cabrer (704 m).

Detailed description of project Type of services provided
The bridge over Danube River between Vidin (Bulgaria) and Calafat (Rumania) is a strategic transport infrastructure
between Europe Centre and Southeast areas as a part of the Pan-European Corridor IV, with a total length of 1951
m.
Due to specific ground characteristics, it was necessary the control of different parameters along the embankments
and structures built in the area.
A total of 8 Intensive Instrumentation Sections are being installed during the construction phase. The purpose is to
monitoring different parameters such as: earth pressure, embankment foundation seats, groundwater levels,
interstitial pressures and horizontal and vertical movements in deep. Likewise, an extensive network of levelling
milestones is being installed along the entire route, to control the seats at the top of the embankments.
This monitoring project involves the installation and monitoring of more than 250 instrumentation and topography
devices, during the construction phase, and with the objective of keeping them operative for the subsequent
exploitation phase.
Geotechnical Monitoring
 Control of deep horizontal movements by 18 inclinometers pipes.
 Ground pressure control at the bottom of embankments by 21
earth pressure cells.
 In order to know the effects of the seasonal levels variations on the
stream of the river, 28 piezometers were to control the interstitial
pressure variations. For water level controls, 15 observation wells
were drilled in the ground.
 Control of settlements evolution, in contact with natural ground
and filled embankments, were registered by 8 settlements
transversal profilers (settlement lines) and 32 settlement plates.
 In Romanian abutment, 6 extensometers (in two sections) were
installed, in each different lithologic layers in order to know the
behaviour during the embankment filling.

Detailed description of project Type of services provided
To complete the geotechnical monitoring, a dynamic load test was done on the bridge.
The main activities consisted of:
 Verification of the parameters of dynamic behaviour according to the theoretical calculation model used in
the construction project of the viaduct by mean of dynamic load tests
 Audit of the state of the structure prior to go live, in order to analyse the existing risks and avoid failures and
collapses due to hidden defects during construction phase.
 Measure and control of the vertical accelerations on points, previously defined in the load test project, to
obtain the vibration modes and values in each of the controlled spans.
 Define specifications and settings of dynamic load tests.
 Implementation of instrumentations and monitoring of the structures to be tested.
 Managing of the tests and technical supervision of the data collection.
In addition to the dynamic tests, it was performed a turn control on the critical sections of the board during the static
load tests, using a automated acquisition system that allows measuring rotations with accuracies close to 7x10-3
mrad.
Once the tests were completed, the Eptisa Technical Office analysed the data obtained, issuing the corresponding
report of results, validating the structural behaviour of the bridge.
 Design of the instrumentation and monitoring systems.
 Perform and supervision of the dynamic load test.
 Evaluation of data and Technical report about structural state of
the structure
