Location

The Maristes footbridge 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 university 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, creating an integral bridge without joints at the piers.

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. ^[3]

Construction

The structure features a double composite action design. A steel box girder was assembled with the aid of temporary supports.
