Summary

This document describes one of seven seismic design examples that illustrate "how" to apply AASHTO's seismic analysis and design requirements on actual different bridge types across the United States. Each provides a complete set of "designer's notes" covering the seismic analysis, design, and details for that particular bridge including flow charts, references to applicable AASHTO requirements, and thorough commentary that explains each step. In addition, each example highlights separate issues (skew effects, wall piers, elastomeric bearings, pile foundations, etc.).

The first example is a 242' reinforced concrete box girder two span overcrossing with spread footing foundations, SPC-C & A = 0.28g. The second example is a 400' 3-span skewed steel plate girder bridge over a river in New England with spread footing foundations, SPC-B & A = 0.15g. The third example is a skewed 70' single span prestressed concrete girder bridge with tall-closed seat-type abutments on spread footings, SPC-C & A = 0.36g. The fourth example is a 320' reinforced concrete box girder 3-span skewed bridge in the western United States with spread footing foundations, SPC-C & A = 0.30g. The fifth example is a 1488' steel plate girder bridge in the inland Pacific Northwest with pile foundations, SPC-B & A = 0.15g. It has nine spans and consists of two units: a four-span tangent (Unit 1) and a five-span with a BOO-foot radius curve (Unit 2). The sixth example is a 290' sharply curved (104 degrees) 3-span concrete box girder bridge in the Northwestern United States with pile abutment foundations and drilled shaft pier foundations, SPC-C & A = 0.20g. The seventh example is a 717' 1O-span prestressed girder bridge with open pile bents, SPC-B & A = O.10g. The superstructure consists of three continuous span units arranged in a 3-4-3 span series.
