SEAFARER’S CENTER PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
PRESENTATION
7/28/2016
OBJECTIVE
 Introduce the Seafarer’s Center Pedestrian
Bridge Project and review the project
process and results.
WHY BUILD A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE?
 The seafarer’s center will have a restaurant open
soon and POHA employees will need a way to cross
the ditch to reach the Seafarer’s center
 It will provide access to a safe haven during fire drills
 It will provide recreation through a jogging trail
(coming up next year)
 It would provide support to not just executive building
inhabitants, but also parking for those who attend
large Seafarer’s Center Events

BRIDGE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
 Design consideration factors:
 Loading: Pedestrian Traffic
 Must not run into cable installed in the ground
 Width:
 The ADA compliant minimum inside clear width is 4 feet,
but the actual width of the bridge will be 5 to 6 feet
 Narrow Bridge Advantages
 more efficient load support
 less material
 minimizes the risk of unintended use (like vehicular traffic)
 Since a narrow bridge is advantageous, we will go with
the minimum:
 6 feet
 Potential length of bridge:
 Option 1: 60 feet
 Option 2: 28 feet
PAINTED STEEL
Advantages Disadvantages
High strength to weight Weak fire resistance
Strong and flexible Maintenance: Must be repainted
Eco-friendly and low waste Brittle fracture
Uniformity Susceptibility to buckling
Ductility
 a solid material's ability to deform under
tensile stress Fatigue
Toughness
 the ability of a material to absorb energy and
plastically deform without fracturing Heavy and expensive to transport
ALUMINUM
Advantages Disadvantages
Light weight
Low bending
Low vibration absorption
Low stress capability
Anti-corrosive
High strength to weight ratio
Conductivity
Resilient
Recyclable
Seamless
GALVANIZED STEEL
 Galvanized steel is steel that has been
coated with zinc to prevent corrosion.
Advantages Disadvantages
Long life Internal rusting
Low corrosion Unstable joints
Protection at all areas Water contamination
WEATHERING STEEL
 "Weathering" refers to the chemical
composition of these steels, allowing them to
exhibit increased resistance to atmospheric
corrosion compared to other steels.
Advantages Disadvantages
Low maintenance
 Marine environments
o Weathering steel should not be used for
bridges within 2km of coastal water.
Appearance improves with age
 Atmospheric Pollution
Weathering steel should not be used in
atmospheres where high concentrations of
corrosive chemicals or industrial fumes,
specifically SO2, are present.

28' by 6' cost $17,700
BRIDGE MATERIAL RECOMMENDATION
 Weathering steel is ruled out because:
 It should not be used in atmospheres where high concentrations of corrosive chemicals or
industrial fumes are present
 It is within 2 K of coastal waters
 This leaves the options of:

ALUMINUM VERSUS STEEL LIFE CYCLE COST
 Figure 1 shows the Present Value (PV) for
each cost and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
for each option for a three percent discount
rate. Using a three percent discount rate,
aluminum has a better TCO than all other steel
options by more than $7,000 for an urban
environment, and by more than $16,000 for a
maritime environment. Aluminum has a TCO
equivalent to galvanized steel after 33 years in
the urban environment, and after 21 years in
the maritime environment.
RECOMMENDED MATERIAL
 The recommended material to be
used for the bridge is aluminum.
 Cost:
 The material cost itself is the least
 It has the least total cost of ownership
 Materials Matrix
 It scored the highest amount of point in the
materials matrix, due to advantageous factors
that outweighed those of the other materials.
DECKING MATERIAL
 Decking Options:
 Aluminum
 Standard Timber Tech Composite Decking
 Fiber Reinforced Polymer Synthetic Concrete
*Prices below include bridge and deck
Aluminum deck Gator Bridge
60' by 6' cost $33,450

28' by 6' cost $19,260
FRP Synthetic Concrete Gator Bridge
60' by 6' cost $36,870
28' by 6' cost $19,596
DECK MATERIAL RECOMMENDATION
 Maintenance, durability, adherence (non-slip surface),
and sustainability should be considered when choosing
the most suitable decking material.

RECOMMENDED DECKING MATERIAL
 The recommended decking material is aluminum
 Least cost
 Most points in the decking material matrix
 Durable, slip resistant, remains cool to the touch
LOADINGS
OPTION RECOMMENDATION
 Maximum allowed load according to Geotechnical report:
 4500 psf
 Load the drill shafts of the 60 foot bridge would have to
resist:
 5000 psf
 Recommended cause of action:
 Have geotechnical engineer drill 50 feet, obtain bore hole, and
provide allowable skin friction resistance or other method to
resist 5000 psf
 Use the 28 foot bridge option
DECISION:
 To use the 28 foot option
 Less project cost due to the size being half of
the 60 foot
 Cost of geotechnical engineer drilling bore
holes saved
FOUNDATION DESIGN
 Foundation Design Program Viathor Vbent
Analysis run on the estimated dimensions to
predict whether it can sustain the maximum
loading or not.
 Hand calculations done to confirm the
Foundation Design Program results as well.
FOUNDATION DESIGN
 Pier Diameter
 2.5 feet
 Pier Length
 22-24 feet
 Because, as seen in the Bore Log Report above,
the soil obtains stiffness at 24 feet
 10 inch Backwall
 Abuntment Cap
 2 feet deep
 3 feet wide
 10 feet long
