Reinforced Concrete Bridge Across the Almendares River, Havana, Cuba
The Almendares River Bridge (in the Province of Havana) crosses the Almendares River and connects the City with the suburb of Marianao. The construction of this concrete bridge was begun in November, 1908, and was completed in August, 1910. It is designed to carry highway traffic, and includes a double track for street cars. The live load was assumed as follows: On either car track, a concentrated load of 24 tons; on any other portion of the roadway, a wagonload of 12 tons; on the sidewalks and for the arch design over the entire bridge, 100 lb. per sq. ft. of floor. The following are the principal dimensions: total length, 711 ft.; height, above the ordinary water level, 48 ft.; roadway, 24 ft. wide; each of two sidewalks, 5 ft. wide. The bridge is paved with granite blocks resting on 1 in. of paving sand.
