19. Case Study-1 : Lusitania Bridge
Quadratic polynomial can be used to model the shape of many architectural structures in the
world. The Lusitania Bridge is a bridge in Merida, Spain. The bridge was built over the
Guadiana River in 1991 by a Spanish consortium to take the road traffic from the Romano
bridge. The architect was Santiago Calatrava. The bridge takes its name from the fact that
Emerita Augusta (present day Merida) was the former capital of Lusitania, an ancient Roman
province.
