| Abstract: |
The way followed from conception to construction of this high strength white concrete arch bridge, an urban 216 m span bow-string arch bridge, is described in this paper. The approach to the city needs, the choice of type and material, the geometric design, the structural solution, the specific studies developed, and the bridge construction, are all explained to show how this outstanding and challenging structure takes bridge design and engineering one step beyond. |
