The Golden Ears Bridge, near Vancouver,
Brish Columbia, creates an important
new transportaon link across the Fra-
ser River. The bridge, with three main
spans each 242 m (795 ) long, featuresan unusual hybrid cable stayed system
designed to ensure a specied perfor-
mance in the case of dened earthquake
events. The bearings and expansion joints
for the bridge are also subjected to such
demands, making their design and fabrica-
on an interesng challenge.
magebas scope
Main Span Bearings:
mageba supplied four custom-designed
upli bearings, pre-compressed for fre-
quent load reversal. Each bearing weighs
a massive 17 tons and can accommodate
a wide range of loads from 4,170 kN to
2,790 kN (upli), longitudinal move-
ments of 3,100 mm (122 in), transverse
movements of 50 mm (2 in) and rotaons
of 0.039 radians about the x-axis and 0.010radians about the y-axis.
Expansion Joints:
In addion to the bearings, 12
TENSAMODULAR LR expansion joints
were supplied by mageba. The largest,
type LR17 with 17 individual gaps, will al-
low longitudinal movements of 1,350 mm
(53 in). The joints are also equipped with
Fuse-Box earthquake protecon devices
which prevent serious damage to the joint,
and the connecng bridge structure, in the
event of an earthquake. The Fuse-Box
also enables the modular expansion joint
to connue to allow passage of emergency
vehicles aer a seismic event.

The Port Mann Bridge is one of Brish
Columbias most signicant bridge struc-
tures, carrying the Trans-Canada Highway
(Canadas Highway 1) across the Fraser
River to the west of Vancouver. As partof the major Port Mann Highway 1 proj-
ect, which also includes the widening and
upgrading of 23 miles (37 km) of highway,
the bridge has been replaced with a new
structure, and was opened to trac at the
end of 2012.
The new bridge is designed for 10 lanes of
trac, and with its main span of 1,542
(470 m), it is the second longest cable-
stayed span in North America. At 164
(50 m) wide, the new bridge is also the
widest span bridge of any type in the
world.

It was determined that a ROBOCONTROL
monitoring system should be used to
meas-ure and record the movements
and rotaons of the bridge decks, pro-
viding the data needed by the computermodeling of the new deck of one bridge,
and assisng in the planning of remedial
works of the exisng deck of the other.
The fully automated system makes the
data available to authorized users, via a
secure online interface, from wherever
they may be in the world. By enhancing
their understanding of the behavior and
performance of the bridge decks, this use
of the ROBOCONTROL monitoring system
will be of great value to the bridges engi-

A new highway viaduct was constructed in
2013, serving the city of Levis in Quebec,
Canada. The viaduct, at an interchange
between Highways 20 and 73, was con-
structed adjacent to an exisng structurein order to increase highway capacity.
The viaduct is a six-span structure with a
steel girder deck, with spans of between
40 m and 60 m and a total length of over
300 m. With a horizontal radius of 270 m,
it has a prominent curve which height-
ens the risk of serious damage during an
earthquake and thus increases the need
for its deck to be seismically isolated from
its supports.

In 2011, The John James Audubon Bridge
opened in southern Louisiana. With a
1,581 (482 m) main span supported by
two 492 (150 m) towers, and an overall
length of 12,883 (3,927 m), the John J.Audubon Bridge became the longest cable
stayed bridge in North America. The struc-
ture carries four lanes of trac 65 (20 m)
above the Mississippi River and replaces
the unreliable ferry service. It is the only
Mississippi crossing between Natchez and
Baton Rouge, a distance of approximately
93 mi (150 km).
magebas scope
TENSAFINGER sliding nger joints, Type
GF and Type RSFD, were selected to fulll
the requirements of both the client andthe designer. Finger joints were preferred
by the client for their low maintenance de-
mands, and the specic type of nger joint
was determined by the movement de-
mands of the bridge at each joint locaon.
Canlever nger joints, type RSFD, were
chosen to facilitate the smaller move-ments of 12 in (305 mm) at one bridge
axis, while sliding nger joints, type GF,
were chosen for the bridge axes requiring
movements of 28 in (710 mm) and 49 in
(1,240 mm). The GF joints feature sliding
support for the ends of the nger plates
which span across the bridge gap, and a
downward pre-tensioning of the nger
plates to ensure that they remain in con-
tact with the sliding surface below. Weigh-
ing 24 tons each, the joints, which allow
49 in (1,240 mm) of movement, are the
largest sliding nger joints of their type
ever manufactured.

based on the standard RESTONPOT bear-
ing which has been a most popular bear-ing in magebas range for many years,
having proven its worth in countless ap-
plicaons. The recently developed ver-
sion of the bearing, with HP standing for
High Performance, represents a major
advance in the bearing s technology. Dura-
bility is much increased, thanks to the use
of improved materials, and the increased
strength enabled the bearings to be made
small enough to suit the main structures
design.

Project descripon
The Sky Building in Guayaquil Ecuador will
be part of a commercial complex called
Aerocity located near the Guayaquil Inter-
naonal Airport.
This 15-oor building consists of 4 parkinglevels and 11 oce oors. Sky Building has
been designed with the latest advances in
terms of seismic protecon by the leading
structural engineering company in Ecua-
dor. The structure has been conceived to
withstand severe earthquake without suf-
fering damages that could jeopardize the
serviceability of the building at any me.
The building is located in Guayaquil, Ecuador3D-View of one of the LASTOLRB (seismic isolators)to be installed in the Sky Building

magebas scope
The seismic protecon strategy chosen for
this building is based on the seismic iso-
laon principle. 64 mageba LASTOLRB
(Lead Rubber Bearings) will be installed on
top of the parking levels in order to isolatethe severe movement at the ground level,
this will provide a comfortable movement
on the structure, and most importantly
the protecon against any seismic damage
during the earthquake.
There were considered three dierent
types of seismic isolator for dierent load-
ing condions. Addionally, 44 sliders will
also contribute with the isolaon system.
