Project Experience Ballard Bridge Safety Analysis, Seattle, WA As part of bike and pedestrian safety improvements at several City bridges, the Ballard Bridge was evaluated for adding pedestrian railing and screen between sidewalk and vehicle lanes. The Ballard / 15 th Avenue Bridge and its approaches were assessed to support the railing, accommodate widening at the ends for more visible right turns, and accept the mountable apron for wider truck turns. SR6 Rock Creek Bridge, Lewis County, WA - WSDOT Prepared the design of the 110 feet detour bridge for the SR 6 bridge replacement project. The temporary bridge is a two lane bridge with the main girder comprised of deep steel girders with varying depths. The bridge was modeled to address the maximum ASSHTO LRFD load combination requirements and the steel girder designed for strength, along with connections, bracing and anchors to the temporary abutments. Bridge Load Rating was performed for the steel plate girder bridge to assess the bridge capacity for the design trucks. Center City Connector C3 Streetcar, SDOT, City of Seattle Responsible for structural discipline for the streetcar link between South Lake Union and First Hill segments. Scope includes areaways assessments and strengthening from streetcar loading, OCS poles, ADA ramps at crossings, streetlight and illumination pole foundations. Deck Replacement and Load Rating: 4 th Ave Viaduct – Main St to Airport Way & South Main Street and 1st Avenue South/Argo Railroad Bridges, Seattle. Design for modified concrete overlay paving on 900-foot long viaduct. Inspection and spalled and cracked concrete repair of the viaduct superstructure beams and slab. Load Rating Analysis of 138-foot- and 2,063- foot-long bridges with a combination of prestressed concrete girder and steel stringer spans using “BRIDG” program. Brunell Bridge, Northeast Novelty Hill Road, Phase 1, Redmond – King County Chudgar was the Engineer of Record for structural design of 25 feet long single span, solid precast prestressed slab girder for Brunell Bridge spanning over Brunell Creek in accordance with King County design requirements, and satisfying shallow structure depth. Page 2 of 2 Fremont Bridge Approach Replacement PS&E, Seattle - SDOT Structural engineer responsible for the design for the fixed span deck replacement and load rating of the bridge approach structure. Complicated design involved accommodating the standard deck thickness while satisfying the existing deck profile. He also reviewed and checked the design for the north approach bridge structure, and provided construction support in the form of review of submittals. South Spokane Street Viaduct Seismic Retrofit and Rehabilitation Project, Seattle. Project Engineer for seismic retrofit of 4,000-foot-long bridge consisting of a combination of concrete T- beams and steel stringers. Seismic retrofit was achieved by steel casing around columns, joint closures and restrainers, and extending beam support widths to prevent collapse. Live load strengthening of concrete girders was accomplished by increasing existing beam sections with shotcrete. Retrofit design work included displacement ductility analysis of pre- and post-retrofit sections, development of retrofit strategy, and cost estimates and construction inspection. Load Rating of concrete T-beams and steel girders (both existing and strengthened sections) of varying spans using ‘BRIDG’ program. SR 99 Tunnel Design- Build Project, Seattle - WSDOT A temporary noise wall to limit the noise from the ongoing tunnel construction was necessary along the Alaskan Way. Chudgar was tasked to prepare the structural engineering for the noise wall which consists of two layers of plywood framed on wood joist supported by steel auger cast pile in lean concrete shaft N100th Street Retaining Wall, Seattle - SDOT Design of eight feet high retaining wall adjacent to roadway as part of roadway widening project. The wall selected was steel soldier piles in drilled shaft with precast concrete fascia panels. Drainage, tree preservation and construction sequence was taken into consideration during design. AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications was used as design code for retaining wall. UW Life Sciences Building, Seattle, WA Chudgar developed design for temporary and permanent shoring for support of excavation adjacent to Burke Gilman Trail. Soldier piles with tiebacks are used for retained heights over 12 feet, with three levels of tiebacks to achieve 50 feet of excavation depth. Construction excavator and concrete pump truck loading adjacent to excavation resulted in significant surcharge loads that required heavy pile sections. Tiebacks were coordinated to maintain minimum clearance as required by geotechnical. First Avenue Areaways Street Retaining Walls Assessment, Seattle, WA For First Avenue Areaways Street Retaining Wall Assessment, Chudgar evaluated the impact of heavy bus loading on existing retaining walls. The assessment included review of the available records, inspection of the areaways, analysis of street wall for applicable loads, including soil pressure and traffic loading, and determination of Capacity to Demand ratios for the street wall for various AASHTO load combinations. On other earlier related areaways tasks, the firm was the Engineer of Record responsible for design of rehabilitation of street retaining wall in deteriorated condition. The design had included a new concrete street retaining wall supported on helical micro piles, steel pipe piles and concrete micropiles. Lincoln Ave Grade Separation Retaining Walls, Tacoma, WA For design of cast-in-place concrete cantilever wall for City of Tacoma Department of Public Works, in lieu of MSE walls to allow for ease of construction and to prevent any damage to adjacent sheet pile wall, Chudgar developed detailing for varying wall heights upto 24 feet that resulted in ease and uniformity in the foundation widths and reinforcement. Strict requirements for overturning were satisfied in accordance with WSDOT Standard Specifications. Wind load was the critical, primary design load in developing stability calculations.
