Vasquez1,2, Kara I. Hurtig1, Matt S. Gellis1, Andre Zimmerman1, Bruce W. Walsh1. 1 Northwest Hydraulic Consultants Ltd. (NHC), North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada 2 [email protected] ABSTRACT The construction of complex bridge piers in large sand-bed rivers has become increasingly common. These piers are made by driving or boring a group of piles deep into the riverbed and then connecting them by a pile cap on top, over which the stem of the pier supporting the deck is located. In contrast with conventional footings, the pile cap is located high above the riverbed and close to the water surface, functioning also as protection against ship collision. The combination of several piles, pile cap and stem above the riverbed gives the pier a complex geometry, which does not easily fit with the simple geometry commonly assumed by most scour prediction equations; hence the need for mobile-bed physical modelling in order to determine scour depths for design purposes. We report the results of several complex piers scour experiments carried out at Northwest Hydraulic Consultants’ laboratory including the Golden Ears Bridge, Port Mann Bridge and Pattullo Bridge in the Fraser River, British Columbia and the Padma River Bridge in Bangladesh. These pier tests encompass a wide range of conditions such as vertical and inclined piles (diameters from 1.8 to 3.0 m), rectangular, octagonal and dumbbell-shaped pile caps (pile cap lengths between 18 and 60 m), and flow discharges ranging from 2-year to 100-year floods.

Despite having a significantly smaller metropolitan population than the Vancouver area, the Portland area was found to have significantly more bridges (60% more) and significantly more bridge lanes (75% more) crossing the Willamette River than the Vancouver area has crossing the Fraser River. Now, with our current study, “Bridging the Infrastructure Gap,” we have examined bridge infrastructure in four major western Canadian cities (Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Saskatoon) to see how well served these cities are compared to the Vancouver area.
