1 New San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Self Anchored Suspension Bridge By: Brian Maroney, PE, Dr. Engr. Deputy Toll Bridge Program Manager California Department of Transportation
2 Objective Carry out an open and transparent and technical meeting on the A354BD fasteners in order to offer an opportunity for the public to see and hear: What the TBPOC and its partners are doing Who is involved What t is being planned Before final decisions are made 2
3 3 New East Bay Bridge Span
4 Self Anchored Suspension Bridge (SAS) 4 Total Number of Fasteners Assemblies: 1,367,300
5 Bolts and Rods on SAS A307: 1,000 (Multiple Suppliers) A325: 1,250,000 (LeJeune Bolt Company) A490: 100,000 (LeJeune Bolt Company) A354BC: 13,000 (Dyson Company) A354BD: 2,306 (Dyson / Vulcan Threaded Products) Total Number of Fastener Assemblies: ~ 1.4 Million 5
6 AASHTO Definitions for Fracture Critical and Redundancy 6 C1.3.4 The Manual for Bridge Evaluation (2008) defines bridge redundancy as the capability of a bridge structural system to carry loads after damage to or the failure of one or more of its members. System factors are provided for post-tensioned segmental concrete box girder bridges in Appendix E of the Guide Manual. System reliability encompasses redundancy by considering the system of interconnected t components and members. Rupture or yielding of an individual component may or may not mean collapse or failure of the whole structure or system (Nowak, 2000) Fracture-Critical Members Fracture-critical members or member components (FCMs) are steel tension members or steel tension components of members whose failure would be expected to result in a partial or full collapse of the bridge.. After the crack occurs, failure of the member could be sudden and may lead to the collapse of the bridge. For this reason, bridges with fracture-critical critical members should receive special attention during the inspections. C4.11 Steel bridges with the following structural characteristics or components should receive special attention during the inspections: One- or two-girder I- or box girder systems, Suspension systems with eyebar components, Steel pier caps and cross girders, Two truss systems, Welded tied arches, and Pin and hanger connections on two- or three-girder systems. The above examples are not a comprehensive list of FCMs or fracturecritical bridge structure types and shall not serve as a checklist.
7 What is an A354BD SAS Bolt? Steel fasteners, designated on the plans as A354, Grade BC, and A354, Grade BD, shall conform to the requirements ASTM Designations: A354. Steel fastener components for steel fasteners designated as A354 shall include a bolt, nut and hardened d washer. ASTM A354BD Strength, Hardness & Galvanization Blasting cleanliness to protect against internal hydrogen (similar to ASTM F2329) ASTM A143 Safeguard against hydrogen embrittlement Other factors to protect bolts from external environment (e.g., paint, dehumidification, encased in grouted tubes) 7

10 March 2013 Fasteners Were Observed to be Broken Immediate observations: All fastener connections are between Pier E2 bent cap and the two shear keys directly over the two columns All are same type of fasteners A354BD All galvanized All large diameter 3-inch All from same supplier delivered at the same time in 2008 All from the same inspection protocol All installed at the same time and exposed to the same environment All stressed at nearly the same time in 2013 All stressed to 0.70Fu (minimum specified ultimate tensile strength) All fasteners broke at the base 10
11 What is Different About the A354BD Bolts Immediate observations: Different size diameter Different supplier Different inspection Different manufacturer process even different Contract Different construction stage/exposure Different stress levels Different environmental conditions 11
