General information

Footbridge 3 m wide formed by isostatic steel decks made bytwo Warren truss knives and a bottom “ in situ” concrete slab bending between bottom chords. The lateral stiffness against buckling effect of top chords is achieved by the stiffness of the transversal portal frame formed by the bottom concrete deck and the lateral trusses.

This is a work to improve the permeability over the beach of tracks routes coming into Barcelona from the south including short distances railway lines and high-speed railway line

The spans range from 20 to 32m and the piers-towers have two intermediate levels for the corresponding connections between sections of ramp.

It is necessary to use deep foundations micropiles of =200mm.
