spandrel wall

This design would have low brick spandrel walls and full-length windows on two sides.

The spandrel walls are of random coursed stone mortared in place.

Thanks to the reinforcing of the spandrel walls in 1935, the bridge continues to carry rail traffic to this day.

The spandrel walls on both sides are broken up, revealing the interior filling of stone, sand and earth.

The bridge's spandrel walls were reinforced in 1935.

Once the stone arch was built, the spandrel walls and wing walls could be added.

L1409's spandrel walls and earth fill were torn away, though the stone arch was so sturdily built it held in place.

The bridge's spandrel walls and panels are fashioned to give the illusion of rough-hewn stone.

The rubble spandrel walls continue back in straight lines to form the retaining walls for the approaches.

The structure was reportedly still in a good condition in 1938, but has since deteriorated, with one of its spandrel walls having collapsed.

Stiffening Arches The deck of a bridge like this must be stiff enough to carry the live loads between the spandrel walls.

The bridge has an internal spandrel wall structure that contains nine additional smaller arches, which are concealed from view by exterior stone sidewalls.

The sloping top of the stairs bulkhead jerked up, and the two triangular spandrel walls supporting it collapsed inwards.

The spandrel walls had parted due to the horizontal forces imposed by the canal, and a longitudinal split had opened up in the arch.

Later writers, with the benefit of engineering knowledge acquired after Jessop's time, have suggested that the spandrel walls were simply too slender for the forces imposed.

On the exterior, a pair of arched niches was set into the spandrel wall, with an additional, twice as large niche at the downstream side in between.

This led to a "narrow wall at the arch crown" and a "protruding rock parapet" atop this spandrel wall on either side.

The bridge uses Luten's patented method of reducing material in the bridge by the addition of metal rings to the spandrel walls.

The bridge was built of local limestone whose shape varies according to its function: the arches consist of voussoirs, the spandrel walls of irregular stonework.

In the mid-1960s, the Promontory Apartments Trust contacted Mies about alterations to the ground floor as well as through-wall air conditioners for the spandrel walls.

The approaches were flanked by wing walls constructed of riprap stones, and the spandrel walls were topped by parapets made of "rough, crenellated stones".

The older western spandrel wall is fashioned out of heavily-chinked rubble, while that on the eastern side is fashioned out of larger blocks that are drill-split rubble.

Although this section was bypassed by a new alignment of the trunkline in 1924, the bridge remains complete "with corbeled bulkheads and six panels recessed in the concrete spandrel walls."

Set two small charges of P.E. inside the spandrel walls with twenty-second detonators-' His voice was drowned by a sharp explosion, and a gust of air swept across the roof.

It is detailed with prominent cornices at the bases of the arches and incised lines on the spandrel walls of a form similar to the joints that would occur in a stone bridge.
