Construcción de tableros y péndolas en puentes colgantes peatonales con bambú como material local

Abstract

Hanging Bridges are structures that allow crossing an obstacle at different levels. They are made by a panel supported by vertical or inclined wire hangers, which are the support structure. This type of bridges hangs supported in two towers. In areas of tropical climates, with difficult accessibility, it has been focused on the bamboo solution and using it as local and ecologically sustainable materials, supporting the conservation of environment and forests, and in the use and the main construction of the board. In this research, work is given to the priority and importance to the solution of constructive technical details of the junctures between bamboo and wire or board. The use of design methodology structures in bamboo by the allowable stress method has been also reviewed.
