Abstract


Given the peculiar geometry of the interchange, conditioned by the topography and the strict development of the roundabouts and underpass approaches, with very small radii, the article comments on the process of its design and the intuition of the structural work, and gives a brief definition of its calculation and construction details which make an outstanding concrete structure with great slendemess and an overall pleasant aspect. A description is given of different prestressing stages and areas which leave great tensioning windows and even auxiliary chords with blind anchors, which all together form a "union" of the whole structure, as can be seen in the figures and photos.
