DVGI Nov. Dinner Mtg. "Foundation Design and Construction of the New NY Bridge" (1 PDH)
The New NY Bridge (now the Mario Cuomo Memorial Bridge) is a $3.14B Design-Build project with the New York State Thruway Authority. The project consists of the design and construction of two new 3-mile long multiple span structures that carry I-87/287 across the Hudson River between Rockland and Westchester Counties. The first span of the new twin-span bridge opened on August 24, 2017. The second bridge is scheduled to be complete in 2018. The new bridge is being designed and constructed to last 100 years without major structural maintenance. The 1,100 pipe pile foundations for the new crossing are up to 6 feet in diameter, and are designed to accommodate future bus rapid transit, light rail or commuter rail.
This presentation will address the high capacity deep foundations used to support the new bridge superstructure. The nominal resistance of these piles is up to 31,135 KN (7,000 kips). The remaining portions of the bridge are designed to be supported on 3-ft and 4-ft diameter, open-ended steel pipe piles, about half of which are friction piles in the deep glacial lake varved clay deposit. The required nominal resistance of the friction piles is up to 19,125 KN (4,300 kips).
