Description

Alberta Environment owns 14 major dams, which are all classified as "High" to "Very High" consequence dams according to the Canadian Dam Association Guidelines and must therefore be designed to accommodate seismic ground motions resulting from earthquakes with an annual exceedance probability of 1:1000 to 1:10000 without an uncontrolled release of the reservoir. The objective of this study is to provide probabilistic-based ground motions that are derived using a consistent methodology and considering the latest seismicity information, which can be used for all of the 14 major dam sites. These ground motions could potentially be used for dam safety reviews of these facilities on a consistent seismic hazard basis.

Description

The availability of light weight concrete aggregates has become a problem due to infrequent use in industry and Alberta precast concrete girder fabricators have recently served notice that they will no longer supply Type SC and SCC girders in semi-light weight concrete. The Department's Technical Standards Branch has engaged a consultant to re-design the Type SC girder series with 50 MPa standard weight silica fume concrete using the provisions of the CAN/CSA-S6-06 Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code. This new standard girder design is scheduled to be available in June 2007 and has been designated as the Type SL-510 series. The re-design of the Type SCC standard composite girder series is expected to commence later this year.
