| Abstract: |
During the years 2001 and 2007 it has been constructed in Spain the new railway line of high speed, that connects Madrid with the north and northwest of Spain. This paper exposes one of the more singular bridges in the area near to Madrid between the kilometre points 104+800 and 108+832 including the project and the construction of the bridge E-8, called in Spanish “in pergola”, over the existing railways that connects Madrid with the city of Alcobendas and Madrid with Segovia in the north of Spain. The project of the bridge was realized by means of a three-dimensional finite element model made with the program SAP2000N that includes all the elements of the structure. The project of the bridge was realized during the year 2004 and the construction of it during the years 2005 and 2006. Finally during years 2006 and 2007 was made the construction of the superstructure (railways, catenaries, etc) and put in service to the public the 23rd of December of 2007. The construction was realized without stopping the traffic of the existing trains from Madrid to Alcobendas and from Madrid to the north of Spain. |
