FOUNDATION DESIGN: WEST SEATTLE BRIDGE
Development of foundation design for the West Seattle Freeway Bridge required extensive geotechnical investigations including a seismic intensity determination. This bridge is one of the first major structures to be designed in accordance with the guidelines developed by the Applied Technology Council (ATC-06). Design constraints, procedures, solutions, and details are described.
