5 Case study #1: I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis Presented by: - Luca Manetti, S&S Manager, SMARTEC SA

6 Project description On Aug. 1, 2007 the I-35W bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis collapsed, killing several people New Bridge built at the same location Two twin pre-stressed, reinforced concrete bridges Designed and built in record time Including SHM system

7 I-35W bridge in Minneapolis Old bridge opened to traffic in 1967 Scheduled for reconstruction in Deficiencies were acknowledged in inspection reports dating back to Mn/DOT had taken several steps to address these deficiencies. Some cracking in the approach spans was repaired or was being monitored 13 people were killed and 145 were injured Mn/DOT s initial study concluded that road-user costs due to the unavailability of the river crossing would total $400,000 per day. In addition to the road user cost study, further analysis by DEED and Mn/DOT estimate the economic impact - or loss to Minnesota s economy - at about $17 million in 2007 and $43 million in Mn/DOT = Minnesota Department of Transportation DEED = Department of Employment and Economic Development

59 Conclusions Detected over dimensioning of column C9 will help designer to improve modeling Differential settlements detected small magnitude, doesn't influence the performance of building; settlement is however not stabilized yet and monitoring should continue The 48-hours sessions confirmed sound performance of the building in long-term and made possible post-tremor analysis The creep and shrinkage stabilizes slowly (developed 85% approximately) and dominant influence start to be ambient temperature

60 Conclusions (continued) Pioneer monitoring project for Singapore high-rise buildings: 7- years long-term monitoring successfully performed and important stages in structure life registered Enlarged knowledge concerning the real column behavior during construction (rheological effects) In spite of limitations (temperature not monitored, no continuous readings) results leads to important insights on actual behavior Monitoring strategy developed and successfully applied, monitoring system (SOFO) was properly selected and fully responded to design criteria

61 Conclusions (continued) The use of fiber-optics sensors on such a large scale sets directions that will help designers better understand the behavior of tall buildings during its life cycle from construction to service conditions Project presented in details and used as example in book Fiber Optic Methods for Structural Health Monitoring, available at SMARTEC
