Alamillo Bridge - Seville, Spain (By Calatrava)

Pdf file - 16 pages

The construction phases of the Alamillo Bridge were quite complicated, at first conducted an extensive study of soil mechanics, to understand the terrain more favorable for construction, subsurface features revealed the complexity of the work to be loamy sands low volume and expansive, which would require very deep to excavate.
As a result of geological study determined the type of foundation chosen for the mast, consisting of a large concrete as where the mast is embedded, forming a single monolithic piece gives flexibility to the weights and push wind through the steel jacket.
The very foundation is used by the architect to create a terrace overlooking the lap around the perimeter and underneath the bridge structure, exposing the bottom of the bearing structure.
It is an incomplete work on the proposal of providing for Calatrava addition to the current Alamillo Bridge, another twin bridge, perpendicular to the first willing to save the other side of the river, over a viaduct that had to cross to the island of La Cartuja.
The architect devised a human torso crowd pulling tension cable that secures the board with flexibility and balance thanks to its inclination.
The materials used in steel and reinforced concrete white, which makes full of grace and slenderness, is truly monumental sculpture.

The link doesn't work? Will you upload it again ? Thank you

The link is alive. From a total of 24 posts in 15 you ask for other link or complain about the link. I think is time to check your internet connection and to stop this only asking behaviour. Try one time to upload something and you will understand what you ask from users downloading for you and others and receiving non stoping complains even if all is OK.

Users must be aware that some sites like mediafire, 4shared are blocked in some countries. In my area for instance, these two sites are blocked but I use proxy to download from such blocked websites. There are a lot of softwares out there which one can use to access blocked sites.
