Mollere Viaduct

Mollere Viaduct, September 8, 2021, Technical Check

Execution of load bearing tests to determine the resistance capacity of a pre-stressed reinforced concrete girder.

The Polytechnic University of Turin and SINA in partnership with Autostrada dei Fiori for the execution of a series of field load tests on pre-stressed reinforced concrete girders.

The research activities of the ASTM Group for a project aimed at evaluating the safety of structures and infrastructures made with pre-stressed reinforced concrete.

The technical check will make it possible to execute load bearing tests to destruction on a girder that has been in use since 1965 and made with pre-stressed reinforced steel and post-tension cables from the Southbound Mollere Viaduct of Highway A6 Turin-Savona.

Participation in the day will award three professional development credits for regular members of the Order of Engineers.
