Abstract:

The high speed line Madrid-Extremadura crosses Almonte River through Alcántara reservoir with a viaduct, a great arch of high performance concrete. The main span of this structure is 384 meters. This span will turn the bridge in 2015, when it is scheduled to be completed, into the first arch bridge for High speed railway in the world. This paper explains the exceptional techniques outside the usual engineer work to reach its design and construction.
