UNIT WEIGHT OF CONCRETE = 150 lb/ft.
5 MULTI-COLUMN BENT - WALL PIER DETAILS
2. MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP ARE TO BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH PUBLICATION 408.
EQUIVALENT FLUID EARTH PRESSURE = 35 psf/ft OF DEPTH 6 HAMMERHEAD - DETAILS
3. PIER DIMENSIONS ARE DETERMINED BY DESIGN. 7 HAMMERHEAD - COLUMN DETAILS AND SECTIONS
FOR FOOTINGS USE A MINIMUM DEPTH INCREMENT OF 3"
8 SOLID SHAFT - DETAILS
4. PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING MINIMUM CONCRETE COVER FOR REINFORCEMENT:
MINIMUM FOOTING THICKNESS: 2'-0" FOR SPREAD FOOTINGS
4" - CONCRETE CAST AGAINST AND PERMANENTLY EXPOSED TO EARTH 9 SINGLE COLUMN - DETAILS
2'-6" FOR FOOTINGS ON PILES
3" - CONCRETE EXPOSED TO EARTH
10 SINGLE COLUMN - COLUMN DETAILS AND SECTIONS
2" - CONCRETE EXPOSED TO WEATHER
SOLID PIERS SHALL HAVE A MINIMUM THICKNESS OF 2'-0" AND MAY BE WIDENED AT 11 SINGLE DRILLED SHAFT - DETAILS
1•" - TO CROSS TIES IN COLUMNS
THE TOP TO ACCOMMODATE THE BRIDGE SEAT WHEN REQUIRED.
3" - SIDE COVER TO STIRRUPS IN PIER CAPS TO PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION
SINGLE DRILLED SHAFT - SHAFT/COLUMN DETAILS
TOLERANCE AND LONG TERM SERVICEABILITY 12
FOR ROUND, SQUARE AND RECTANGULAR COLUMNS USE A 3'-0" MIN. COLUMN DIA./WIDTH. AND SECTIONS
USE INCREMENTS OF 6" MINIMUM TO INCREASE COLUMN WIDTHS/DIA.
5. USE CLASS A CEMENT CONCRETE IN PIERS, FOOTINGS AND DRILLED SHAFTS. 13 TYPICAL FOOTING DETAILS

SHRINKAGE KEYS MUST NOT BE USED IN PIER CAPS TO ELIMINATE PARTIAL OR TOTAL SHRINKAGE 14 TYPICAL CAP DETAILS
6. USE CLASS C CEMENT CONCRETE BELOW BOTTOM OF FOOTINGS, IF SPECIFIED.
STRESSES. 15 REHABILITATION AND JACKING DETAILS
7. EPOXY COAT MAIN REINFORCEMENT BARS (J-BARS) PROTRUDING FROM PIER FOOTINGS INTO
FOR COLUMNS OR PIER BENTS LOCATED IN THE SLOPED PORTION OF AN EMBANKMENT, INCREASE
COLUMNS OR STEM AND CAP STEEL BELOW OPEN JOINTS.
THE EARTH PRESSURE AGAINST THE BACK OF THE FOOTING AND COLUMN 100% TO INCLUDE THE
EFFECT OF THE ADJACENT EMBANKMENT.
8. FOR ADDITIONAL EPOXY COATED REINFORCEMENT BAR REQUIREMENTS, SEE DESIGN MANUAL,
PART 4, CONCRETE STRUCTURES, SECTION D.5.4.3.6P.
PIERS LOCATED IN THE EMBANKMENT MUST BE INVESTIGATED FOR STABILITY NOT CONSIDERING
SUPERSTRUCTURE LOADS.
9. KEY FOR CONSTRUCTION JOINT MAY BE FORMED INTO THE COLUMN OR INTO THE FOOTING.

FOR STEEL BRIDGES WITH MULTIPLE FIXED PIERS AND CONTINUOUS DECK DESIGN,
10. SEE BC-736M FOR STANDARD SPLICE AND DEVELOPMENT LENGTHS.
PROVIDE A TEMPERATURE/DISPLACEMENT TABLE FOR PLACEMENT AT OTHER THAN 70°F.

11. PROVIDE ƒ" V-NOTCH IN COLUMNS OF PIERS AT FINISH GROUND LINE FOR
PIERS NEAR WATER.

12. FOR FOOTINGS FOUNDED ON BEDROCK A MINIMUM OF 1 FT. SOIL COVER IS PREFERRED
BUT NOT REQUIRED. SOIL COVER MAY BE ANY DEPTH TO AVOID UNNECESSARY EXCAVATION.
13. FOR CHECKING CRACK CONTROL, THE SIDE CLEARANCE SHALL BE 2". A 3" COVER IS INDICATED
TO PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION TOLERANCE AND LONG TERM SERVICEABILITY.
14. APPLY AN EPOXY RESIN COATING TO ENTIRE PIER COLUMN/WALL THAT ARE WITHIN SPLASH
ZONE (14 FT. OF ROADWAY EDGE), TO PROTECT AGAINST SALT SPRAY.
CONSTRUCTABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
TO ALLOW PLACEMENT OF THE PIER CAP REINFORCEMENT CAGE:
- PROVIDE SPLICES IN COLUMN TIES WHICH EXTEND INTO THE PIER CAP.
- DO NOT EXTEND SPIRALS INTO THE PIER CAP. PROVIDE SPLICED TIES.
FOR VERTICAL COLUMN REINFORCEMENT STABILITY, EXTEND VERTICAL COLUMN STEEL
(J-BARS) TO BOTTOM MAT OF FOOTING REINFORCEMENT STEEL.

COLUMN
- FOR STEPPED COLUMN, PROVIDE 6" MINIMUM / 2'-0" MAXIMUM WIDTH VARIANCE.
CONSIDER USING COLUMN SEGMENT LENGTHS WITH 1'-0" INCREMENTS FOR ALL BUT
TOP COLUMN SEGMENT. SEE ELEVATION ON SHEET 9, FOR GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION.
- FOR ROUND COLUMNS, RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM COLUMN DIA. IS 8'-0".
