]]> AIN active has developed the work for the preparation of the construction project related to the Costa da Morte highway works between Carballo and Santa Irene.

  • Carballo – Baio: dual carriageway with two lanes in each direction over a distance of 25,50 km.
  • Baio – Santa Irene Interchange: single carriageway with one lane in each direction over a distance of 2,20 km.

Additionally, AIN active has carried out works related to the alignment, drainage, fencing, and other complementary works in the section between Baio Norte and Berdoias, with a length of 14,21 km.

]]> AIN active has performed the structural calculation and verification of the stormwater tank located in Negreira, on a plot near the facilities of the current E.D.A.R. (Wastewater Treatment Plant) near the Barcala River channel.

The stormwater tank consists of the following parts:

  • In-line chamber

  • Off-line retention chamber

  • Relief chamber

  • Roughing chambers

  • Pumping chamber

  • Valve chamber

Regarding the geometry, it has a roughly rectangular footprint with representative exterior dimensions of approximately 33.8 m in length and 20.0 m in width. The height of the walls in the main basin is 6.50 m; 9.0 meters in the roughing chambers, pumping well, and valve chamber; and 3.20 meters in the relief chamber.

The modeling was carried out using the Midas Civil 2013 software.

In order to make the behavior of the model as close as possible to that of the actual structure, a 3D model was generated using hybrid rectangular sheet-type elements.

For the dimensioning of the structure, the following procedure was followed:

  • Obtaining forces

  • Reinforcement dimensioning (Ultimate Limit State – ULS)

    • ULS Bending – Composite

      • Minimum reinforcement quantities

      • Calculation of required bending reinforcement

    • Ultimate Limit State (ULS) Shear check

      • Verification of shear resistance capacity of concrete section without reinforcement

      • Calculation of required shear reinforcement

    • Serviceability Limit State (SLS) check

      • SLS Cracking check

      • Verification of stresses in foundation slabs

]]> The works for the expansion of the Morrazo Corridor around P.K. 05+300 include the execution of an embankment on a mid-slope, which will be supported laterally by a retaining wall of variable height, exceeding 10.0 meters in some areas.

The possibility of replacing this embankment with a mid-slope structure has been considered. On the side corresponding to the current roadway, it consists of a support formed by a loader foundation directly on the platform, while on the side corresponding to the expansion, there is a series of rectangular supports and an upper beam that form the support on this side of the deck.

AIN Active developed a preliminary analysis of the described structural configuration and carried out the preliminary sizing of the main elements that constitute it.

The proposed structure is formed by a T-beam deck with a double T-section, with a gap between them, and connected at the top by a reinforced concrete slab. The deck support is made on the side of the existing roadway using a loader, and on the opposite side, the support is made on another continuous loader that rests on variable height rectangular supports. The foundation is executed with a foundation base and micropiles.
