Renforcement et gros entretien du pont Canot a Besancon pour le passage de la 1er ligne du tramway

Strengthening and heavy maintenace fopr Canot bridge in Besancon for the first tramway line crossing

Dans le cadre de la realisation de la 1ere ligne de tramway de Besancon, dont la mise en service est prevue pour 2014, l'amenagement de surface du pont Canot a ete modifie pour accueillir une plate-forme tramway (2 voies) de 20 cm d'epaisseur de beton. L'ouvrage construit en 1949 a l'aide d'arcs en beton non arme sera renforce en materiaux composites et ferra peau neuve au printemps 2013. ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH:Rebuilt in 1949, following its demolition during the Second World War, this bridge is located in the Besancon city centre (France), crossing the Doubs River. It consists of a plain concrete roof and the main structure of three 27-metre spans, each consisting of a deck and reinforced concrete cross ties resting on three plain concrete arches. Originally supporting two road traffic lanes and two footpaths, it was widened in 1979 by means of prefabricated cantilever slabs bonded to the existing top slab in order to receive four traffic lanes and two footpaths. As part of the construction of the first tramway line, the surface layout of the structure was changed to receive two tramway tracks, two traffic lanes and two footpaths. This article analyses the behavior of the main structure, the loading and modeling assumptions, the results obtained and the planned composite material strengthening.
