Abstract

An analysis and visual inspection is presented of the bridge “Quebrada de Tambura”, this study emphasizes on the visual inspection of the bridge, the elements taken into consideration for the assessment, and the relevant failure modes that can be identified throughout the process, leading to a recommendation for maintenance. In addition, CSI Bridge software is used for a case study of the bridge “Quebrada de Tambura” located in Imbabura province in Ecuador, and where possible causes for the identified failure modes are included in the model, such as settlements. Finally, the processed and analyzed information was used for the proposal for maintenance on the bridge, including the underpinning of piles and foundations, and the use of carbon fibers (CFRP) in shear-critical beams calculated by the Sika program
