The Pedestrian Bridge over the Segre River is a bridge in Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. In 2000, Lleida City Council organized an open competition for a new pedestrian bridge. It marks the entrance to the campus and functions as a communication and public space.[1][2]
Description
[edit]The bridge contains four spans frame long embedded into three slender piers of reinforced concrete. Abutments are integrated into, either existing or new, walls defining a continuous with the built environment of the city. In this way, an integral bridge (without joints at piers) is obtained.
Translucent composite materials (GFRP)-(Fiberglass) have been used in the form of structural floor panels and wall panels for both the railing and the flooring.
Construction
[edit]The structure is designed with a double composite action. The steel box girder was assembled using temporary support.
