Task 7 Concept Design Report (CDR) <br /> The CONSULTANT will prepare a Concept Design Report (CDR) providing description of the <br /> detailed structural analysis used in the determination of seismic vulnerabilities, and calculated <br /> section capacity/demand ratios for both as-built and post-retrofit conditions (on proposed <br /> parts/members to be retrofitted identified following as-built condition analyses.) Construction <br /> cost estimate and preliminary retrofit plans will be included in the Concept Design Report as <br /> appendices. A constructability review of the proposed retrofits will be conducted by the <br /> CONSULTANT to inform the selection of the proposed retrofits as well as the construction cost <br /> estimates of those retrofits. <br /> Seismic Analysis and CDR Preparation Assumptions: <br /> • Elastic analyses will be performed as part of this SCOPE during a design seismic <br /> event. This assessment will be partly based on experience and engineering <br /> judgment. <br /> • 2 Structural models (i.e., Spine and 3-D) will be developed based on the as-built <br /> drawings, with visual field verification of elements above ground and accessible <br /> without special equipment. For each model, two conditions of soft for displacement <br /> demand (i.e., liquefied) and rigid for force demand will be studied. <br /> • Structural models will utilize a single spine representing the bridge superstructure, <br /> with additional frame elements included to represent crossbeams, columns, and <br /> spread footings. Spread footing foundation springs will be established in accordance <br /> with procedure outlined in the FHWA Seismic Retrofitting Manual and BDM. <br /> Abutments and walls may be modeled with frame or shell elements, at the <br /> CONSULTANT's discretion. <br /> • Per AASHTO Guide Specs, seismic analyses are performed for the design 1,000-yr <br /> event based on the as-built conditions. <br /> • Foundation analysis will be based on The AASHTO Guide Specifications for LRFD <br /> Seismic Bridge Design. <br /> • Live load concurrent with seismic demands will not be considered in the analysis. <br /> • In determining seismic responses, effective member stiffness will be determined <br /> based on the FHWA Retrofitting Manual guidelines. <br /> • Expected material properties will be used for all elements in the analysis. Nominal <br /> material properties will be used in design or retrofit items only. <br /> • Pushover analysis will be conducted as described in Method D2 of the FHWA <br /> Retrofitting Manual: for the 1,000-yr analysis, concrete strain at plastic hinging will <br /> be limited to 0.005. <br /> Maple Heights Bridge Seismic Retrofit 19 <br />
