What is this project unique? Rural lifeline Scenic location Multi-type, long structure Low ADT Low sufficiency rating Requires frequent maintenance Seismically vulnerable Replace or Rehab?
Bridge Facts To OR 18 DeJong Bridge To Ballard & Polk County
Bridge Facts Built o 1960 Sufficiency Rating o 47.5 ADT o 558 (harvest season) o 20% trucks Detour o 7.6 miles 1942: Original DeJong Rd Bridge.
Geometry Overall Geometry o Length 740' o Width 24' roadway RCDG RCBG Structure Type o RCDG on two column bents 3 spans; (36', 48', 36 ) o RCBG on single column piers 3 spans; (80', 100', 80 ) o Precast RC beams on timber pile bents 12 30' spans Precast RC
Geometry RCDG Spans 1-3
Geometry RCBG Spans 4-6
Geometry Precast RC Beams on Timber Piles Spans 7-18
Client Goals Serve local, Yamhill County, and Polk County citizens that depend on the bridge Safe o Functional deficiencies o History or damage during flood events Reliable o Load posted structure Cost Effective o Reduce County maintenance efforts and cost o Make a sound financial decision
Project Objectives and Scope Phase 1: Alternatives Analysis (this project) Phase 2: Final Design Phase 3: Construction
Project Objectives and Scope Phase 1: Alternatives Analysis o Define deficiencies o Develop rehabilitation & replacement alternatives Scope of work Costs Impacts, benefits, & risks o Desired Outcomes: Informed decision: rehabilitate or replace TS&L Report Cost & Scope for funding
Presentation Outline Project Overview Existing Conditions Alternatives Analysis Selection & Conclusions
Investigations Scope of Field Work Survey Geotechnical Environmental o Wetlands & Waters o Historic/Arch/Cult Roadway Right-of-way Utilities Structural Inspections
Investigations Analysis Roadway o New concept alignment Structural o Structural evaluation o Seismic modeling o Load rating update
Investigations Seismic Vulnerabilities Spread footings Bent & pier columns Sub / superstructure connections Seat width Tall end diaphragms Bearings Spans 7-18
Seismic Analysis Modeling SAP2000 Spline model Modeled Spans 1-6 only Accounted for mass of Spans 7-18 RSA o Lower Level M9.0 CSZ, serviceability o Upper Level 1000 yr, life safety Tension and compression models
Findings Deficiencies Lack of seismic resiliency o All spread footings deficient structural capacity & overturning o Bents 2 & 3 columns deficient displacement & shear capacity o Bents 2 & 3 crossbeams deficient flexural capacity o Piers 2 & 3 columns deficient shear capacity o Pier 4 column deficient flexural capacity o Pier 1 & 4 diaphragms/girder support deficient flexural capacity o Piers 1 & 4 steel rocker bearings
Findings Deficiencies Deteriorated & damaged timber o Piles 15 piles in Condition State 2» Checking, decay, and section loss 4 piles in Condition State 4» Decay and section loss 11 replaced with steel piles o Timber Caps 51' in Condition State 2» Decay, section loss, and splitting 28' in Condition State 3» Decay and section loss 6' in Condition State 4» Decay and section loss
Findings Deficiencies Hydraulic debris collection o Piles and cross-bracing catch debris Lack of scour protection o Erosion holes around Pier 4 (max 3 ft depth) o Pier 2 footing exposed Vehicular safety deficiencies o Substandard bridge rail, transitions, approach rail and rail ends o 1 foot shoulder width on bridge Element condition deficiencies o Joint seals o Steel rocker bearing
Findings Deficiencies Load rating structural deficiencies o Bent 2 & 3 Crossbeams All Vehicles in shear o Bent 2 & 3 Crossbeams Permit Vehicles in flexure o Span 1 & 3 Girders HS20 & Permit Vehicles in shear o Span 7-18 Girders Permit 6 Vehicle in flexure o Additional deficiencies anticipated due to Tier 2 LRFR update
