Se trata de un puente en arco de una sola luz de 120 m, el cual colapsó después de 10 años de servicio. Con base en elementos estructurales extraídos del puente de falla, se realizó un estudio fractografico, mecánico y químico, con el fin de establecer las posibles causas de fallas del puente desde el punto de vista metalúrgico. En nudos de unión de pendolón-arco se observan fracturas por fatiga en uniones soldadas en varios sitios, lo cual es evidenciado por una apariencia de fractura suave de crecimiento estable de grietas combinada con una zona de apariencia fibrosa de fractura súbita final de colapso del puente. Dado que el colapso del puente es precedido por la generación de grietas en uniones soldadas, se considera importante examinar la combinación de las propiedades de resistencia y tenacidad con el fin de estudiar tanto la capacidad de soporte de carga como de la tolerancia de defectos de las uniones soldadas.
