Maristes footbridge, Lleida
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. The structure marks the entrance to the campus and serves both as a means of circulation and a public gathering space.[1][2]
Description
The bridge consists of four long spans supported by three slender reinforced concrete piers. The abutments are integrated into both existing and new walls. 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
The structure features a double composite action design. A steel box girder was assembled with the aid of temporary supports.
