Abstract

En las últimas décadas las estructuras recíprocas han encontrado una nueva utilidad vinculada a la ejecución de obras temporales y reciclables en línea con las tendencias actuales en arquitectura sostenible. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar el comportamiento de puentes de madera con estructura recíproca. Se realizó un modelo numérico y se compararon las respuestas estructurales del puente tradicional chino y el puente desmontable de Leonardo. El modelo se verificó midiendo la deformación de un puente real construido en taller. Además del comportamiento mecánico se estudió el mecanismo de transmisión de cargas, la influencia del rozamiento, la estabilidad lateral y la robustez. El puente chino trabaja fundamentalmente a compresión, acercándose más al comportamiento de un arco funicular, y transmitiendo una carga horizontal en los apoyos del orden de tres veces mayor que el puente de Leonardo, que trabaja fundamentalmente a flexión y con niveles de agotamiento y deformación mayores.

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 28 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Additionally, the work has been submitted to a journal classified as Diamond in relation to this type of editorial policy.
Continuing with the social impact of the work, it is important to emphasize that, due to its content, it can be assigned to the area of interest of ODS 11 - sustainable cities and communities, with a probability of 78% according to the mBERT algorithm developed by Aurora University.
