CTC Item 26: Innovations in Transportation – San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge Implosions California Transportation Commission December 6, 2017 1
This is how i t started SFOBB Pier E9 Following the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake
Bay Area Faults and Major Roadways
Earthquake Reports
Innovation was the Direction the 1994 Northridge EQ Following Brian Maroney, PE, Dr. Engr. Chief Bridge Engineer for the Toll Bridge Seismic Retrofit Program Deputy Toll Bridge Program Manager California Department of Transportation
Examples of Innovation in the Toll Bridge Program The Toll Probabilistic Bridge Program Seismic Ground Motions (SFOBB (from LP to NR earthquakes) East Spans, Dumbarton, Antioch and now spreading) Probabilistic Estimating AB144 High Performance Concrete (but not exotic) TBPOC A706M Reinforcing Steel Weekly cabinet Meetings Large Diameter Battered Piles to control (environmental, design, Seismic Motions construction, PM) Pile tip Acceptance Criteria Peer Review in Design & Construction Overlapping staged Construction Contracts (SFOBB East Spans, Dumbarton & Quarterly Reports to the Legislature Antioch) Concept of Project & Program Contingency Pre-bid Contractor Technical Outreach Pier 7 (“Campus Concept”) Pre-bid fabricator audits Group Environmental Resource Agency Pre-bid engineering approval Meetings (YBI rollout-rollin, OTD SSD, Cantilever) Contractor-Constructed proto-types and Pier E3 Implosion Demonstration Project proof tests Pile Driving Demonstration Project BRIM (bridge information Management Caged Fish Study Post-Future EQ User’s Manual Pile Driving Energy Attenuator and Lane-by-Lane Deck Joint Demonstration …and many many more.

The Environment Was of Extreme Value to A ll Involved
Cantilever
504' Spans Being Prepared fo r Lowering Without a Single Pile

504' Spans Original Construction
288 Truss on Solid Piers 15
288 Truss on 2 floating Barges 16
288' Spans Original Construction Work continues in cantilever beyond the temporary bent to reach the next pier Temporary bent
≈235’ ≈224’ Pier ≈215’ E3 ≈235’ ≈224’ ≈215’ 18
Marine Foundations Types Two General Types of Piers Pier Cap ~50’ ~ Water Line ~ Mud Line Hollow Voids Cell Wall Concrete Slab Concrete Pile Cap Typical: E4 – E5 Typical: E6 – E18 Concrete Caisson Timber Pile Supported 19
Weekly Schedule Updates 20
Weekly Schedule Updates 21
• Major Marine Piers (E3 – E18) Successfully Removed • With Environmental Responsibility • Under Budget • Ahead of Schedule 22
Blast Event Video Piers E9 and E10 Blast Event 5
1) Planning/Design Multi-Pier Implosion Video 2) Actual Multi-Pier Implosion Video 24
E14, E15, E16 Blast Day Plan
• What About the Remaining Marine Piers? • Piers E2 (YBI) and E19-E22 (OTD) Under Consideration for Retention – Increase focus on restoring public access to the Bay – Experience the new bridge – W ater access opportunities – Connect with history – Timeliness 26
