Purpose and Background

This was the closing plenary presentation at the 2024 CI & CRC Joint Conference. Demolition analysis can often be as complicated as construction, and it requires similar analysis for both strength and stability. This presentation discusses how the safe and efficient removal of the existing bridge contributed to the overall project’s success. The speakers will discuss the general project location, bridge layout and demolition sequence. The original construction and rehabilitation will also be covered. Then the speakers will cover the removal of the approach span, continuous truss, deck truss, containment structures, suspension span, tower, and cable removal by explosive demolition.

Learning Outcomes and Session Benefits

Upon completion of these sessions, you will be able to:

Assess the impact of project location and bridge layout on a demolition strategy and integrate these factors into the overall demolition plan.

List the alternate removal strategies used to address site and environmental related challenges.

Explain the importance of accurately modeling the existing structure, including the construction and rehabilitation phases, to ensure safety and precision during the demolition process.

Formulate an effective collaboration strategy between contractors and engineers, establishing a comprehensive plan to manage and mitigate field issues during the demolition process.
