M E M O R a N D U M To: Oregon Metro and Trimet From: Nelson\Nygaard Team Date: June 25, 2019 Subject: Central City Transit Capacity - Screening Report
M E M O R A N D U M To: Oregon Metro and TriMet From: Nelson\Nygaard Team Date: June 25, 2019 Subject: Central City Transit Capacity - Screening Report The Central City Transit Capacity Analysis (CCTCA) project is an effort to define a representative project that addresses light rail capacity and reliability issues in the Central City and that improves regional mobility by eliminating major sources of rail system delay. A representative pro ject is intended to give project sponsors and partners enough information to scope and estimate costs for future operational, engineering, and environmental studies. The representative pro ject will also provide conceptual, preliminary information for stakeholders and the general public. The Portland Central City is the economic and cultural center of the region, with the densest population of people and jobs in Oregon. It is home to numerous regional destinations, including the Oregon Convention Center, Rose Quarter, Union Station, the Pearl District and Old Town/Chinatown, Do wntown, Portland State University, and Providence Park. Traffic congestion, surface transit limitations, limited Willamette River crossings, and Steel Bridge rail capacity and reliability issues all impact the movement of people to and through downtown Portland and between Regional and Town Centers. Projected population and employment growth in the Central City and throughout the region will exacerbate the problem in the future. Improvements to the light rail system are among the most critical, sustainable, and cost-effective means to ensure access to Central City and provide the regional mobility needed to support job and population growth. The project, including this Screening Report, are guided by a Technical Group composed of representatives from local partner agencies. -

New York City Department of Transportation
INNOVATIONS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS East River Bridges A $3.14 billion reconstruction program is underway to rehabilitate all four East River crossings. In 2005, these bridges carried some 498,213 vehicles per day. In 2002, working in coordination with the NYPD and other law enforcement agencies, the Division implemented enhanced security measures on these bridges. This work is ongoing. BROOKLYN BRIDGE The Brooklyn Bridge carried some 132,210 vehicles per day in 2005. The $547 million reconstruction commenced in 1980 with Contract #1, and will continue with Contract #6, currently in the design phase and scheduled for completion in 2013. This contract will include the rehabilitation of both approaches and ramps, the painting of the entire suspension bridge, as well as the seismic retrofitting of the structural elements that are within the Contract #6 project limits.

Reduction of Transverse Cracking in Structural Slab Bridge

Midha ________________________________ ________________________________ Committee Member Date Dr. Xiaosheng Gao ________________________________ Committee Member Dr. Nao Mimoto ii ABSTRACT Cracking on decks is one of the major concerns for bridges located all over the United States, affecting the durability and service life of the bridge. The CSS (Continuous Span Structural Slab) bridges, without stringers and are the most commonly used bridges in counties over the streams. Several CSS bridges in Ohio were surveyed to inspect crack widths on the bridge decks; and it was found that the crack widths over the negative moment regions were as wide as 0.125 inches. Such wide cracks exceed the recommended limit by ACI 224R-01 on bridges exposed to deicing salts by a factor of over 15. The permanently opened cracks act as pathways to the chlorides from the de-icing salts, allowing them to reach the reinforcement, causing aggressive environment around the embedded steel. This causes corrosion of the embedded reinforcing bars leading to severe section loss in steel. -
