Designed to
test seismic and wind, the Vidalta Bridge has a maximum slope of 3.2% from the residential
complex towards the S.T.I.M Avenue, a section bearing 7 meters wide for two
lanes of vehicular traffic and a wide sidewalk for pedestrian circulation.
We used a
mixed technique with reinforced concrete casted on site for the shorter side (211
ft) and prefabricated with steel in the longer side (545 ft). Two inclined
concrete columns were also constructed and supported to foundation that holds
the steel straps that transmit the remaining strain to the structure base.
Protection measures
were also implemented in the ravine such as enabling a main single access to
the base of the bridge and a 100% harvest of storm water to prevent the spill
into the ravine. The main foundation consists in a solid footing made of reinforced
concrete with a base of 71 ft x 35 ft over the
land that is part of the development.
For the 1312
ft access booth a boxed arcade was done to make the way for the cable-stayed
bridge. The guiding idea was to enhance the presence of the development with a
double height stone frame and a plafond made by pergolas. The surveillance zone
for access control was constructed with a metallic structure covered with
frosted glass with a simple and classic design with a contemporary use of
materials and architectonic proposal.
