SEISMIC DESIGN CRITERIA AND RETROFIT SCHEMES FOR THE SAN MATEO-HAYWARD TOLL BRIDGE

The San Mateo-Hayward Bridge represents one of the major orthotropic steel spans in the United States with the total length of 7.1 miles. The bridge carries six lanes of traffic on State Route 92 between Foster City and the City of Hayward and spans the south arm of the San Francisco Bay. The Carter and Burgess team was selected for the seismic retrofit design of the San-Mateo-Hayward Toll Bridge as part of the State of California embarked task of seismically retrofitting major toll bridges in the state. This paper briefly addresses the main issues related to the performance evaluation, vulnerability assessment, and retrofit design concepts of steel subsystems and foundation substructures of the San Mateo-Hayward Tool Bridge. The objective of this paper is to highlight the performance criteria, vulnerabilities, and retrofit schemes for selected key members of this bridge.
