Bridge over the Jarama River
As the previous bridge connecting Barajas with Paracuellos, on the 5th km of the road joining these villages, had been destroyed, a new one has been built. It is made of steel, has five spans, with a total length of 178.85 ms, has a 7 m wide pavement, and two 1.10 m wide sidewalks. The main feature...

| Summary: | As the previous bridge connecting Barajas with Paracuellos, on the 5th km of the road joining these villages, had been destroyed, a new one has been built. It is made of steel, has five spans, with a total length of 178.85 ms, has a 7 m wide pavement, and two 1.10 m wide sidewalks. The main feature of this bridge is a continuous girder, running over the three central spans, one 36.9 m long, and the other two 24.2 m each. This girder has a continuous web, of double T section. It has two halves, 6.2 ms apart, suitably linked together. The depth varies, and increases slightly over the central supports. The central piles rest on new foundations, consisting of caissons. The rest of the old foundations have been preserved. At the central pile the attachment is fixed, and on the two adjacent piles roller bearings have been fitted. At the end supports the deck structure rests on neoprene plates, 12 mm thick. To ensure the stability of the deck slab, a number of adequately spaced dilation joints have been provided. Por haber sido socavado y destruido el puente primitivo, situado en el punto kilométrico 4,800, y con objeto de restablecer el tráfico en la carretera de Barajas a Paracuellos, se ha construido uno nuevo, de estructura metálica, de cinco tramos, con una longitud total de 178,85 m, calzada de 7 m y dos andenes de 1,10 m de anchura cada uno. La parte principal de esta obra consiste en una viga continua que salva los tres tramos centrales, uno de 36,90 m de luz y los dos adyacentes a él de 24,20 m. Esta viga está constituida por dos de alma llena, de sección en forma de doble T, espaciadas a 6,20 m y convenientemente arriostradas entre ellas. Su canto es variable, aumentando linealmente en las proximidades de los dos apoyos centrales, hasta estos mismos. Las pilas de los tres tramos centrales se apoyan sobre nuevos cimientos, realizados con cajones, conservando los demás cimientos existentes. El apoyo sobre la pila central es fijo, y de rodillos el de las dos adyacentes. En los estribos y las dos pilas extremas ... |
