    THE FUTURE OF VANCOUVER’S VIADUCTS Welcome to our information session on the future of Vancouver’s viaducts. Over the past two years City staff have been testing the replacement of the Georgia and Dunsmuir Viaducts. We’d like to share our findings with you and invite you to share your opinion. Why are we here today? Since 2010, City staff have been exploring opportunities to replace the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts with a mostly at-grade street network to allow for a larger Creekside Park, improved walking, cycling, transit, and driving options, a new neighbourhood and housing opportunities on city land. In September 2015, Council will consider whether to move ahead with removing the viaducts. What are we planning?

  • Seismic Design of Bridges in British Columbia: Ten-Year Review
    SEISMIC DESIGN OF BRIDGES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA: TEN-YEAR REVIEW Jamie McINTYRE Structural Engineer, Hatch Mott MacDonald, Vancouver Canada [email protected] Marc GÉRIN Consultant, Ottawa Canada [email protected] Casey LEGGETT Structural Engineer, Hatch Mott MacDonald, Vancouver Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT: Seismic design of bridges in British Columbia has evolved significantly in the last ten years. Developments have comprised three major changes in seismic design practice: (1) improved understanding of seismic hazard—including raising the design earthquake from a 475-year return period to 2475-year return period and better knowledge of the contribution of the nearby Cascadia subduction zone; (2) a shift to a performance-based design philosophy with emphasis on improved post-earthquake performance—including multiple service and damage objectives for multiple levels of ground motions; and (3) increased sophistication of seismic analyses—including both inertial analyses and analyses for liquefaction hazards. The result of these changes should be bridges that perform better and remain functional post-earthquake. These changes are expected to encourage alternatives to the traditional use of column plastic hinging, such as base-isolation. Over the last ten years, base-isolation has been used on few bridges in British Columbia—primarily retrofits of existing structures; however, given its ability to preserve post-earthquake functionality, base-isolation should be a serious consideration for any project. 1. Introduction – Evolution of Seismic Design Practice Seismic design of bridges in British Columbia has evolved significantly in the last ten years, going from a bridge design code using outdated principles to a state of the art new code that implements performance- based design.
