FPC Italia and Freysas have
been awarded an important job to build 3 different ILM viaducts (incremental
launch method) for the new Fuzuli-Shusha highway in Azerbaïdjan.
FPC Italia will supply n.
76 seismic isolators in rubber with lead core type ISOSISM® LRB-N dia.
950x187 mm and each isolator will be equipped with a wedge plate to adapt
the slope of the deck.
Due to the high seismicity
it was decided to isolate the bridge ensuring an elastic response of the
piles consequently avoiding damage during an earthquake. All devices have
been successfully designed and tested according to the European standard
EN 15129.
The project also includes
the use of TERON SB multidirectional spherical bearings with over 5000
kN of vertical load and almost 1000 mm of longitudinal movement to withstand
the vertical load and not transmit shear forces to the deck.
All Freyssinet skills worked
together to carry out a great project making it safe and achieving global
savings.
We work in safety, we work
to provide safety.
