The next step is to calculate the dead weight value w(x) from the superstructure and part of the sub-structure. It can also include some live load if the bridge is in a heavily traveled urban area. From these two values, vs and w(x), we can find the fundamental period T of the bridge and the seismic force pe(x).

Wing-wall damage at abutment
Interchange 210 – RoxfordStreet Undercrossing at Foothill Boulevard.
Single-span, variable depth, prestressed box girder, slightly skewed and supported on pile diaphragm abutments. The structure was supported entirely on fill. All eight wingwall-to-diaphragm connections were badly damaged.
![Page 29: Lecture12 Abutments ( Highway Engineering )](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102614/55a6686c1a28abca668b463f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Failure in Shear of Superstructure and End Diaphragm at Soffit.
Balboa Boulevard Over-crossing –South Abutment
Seven-span, reinforced concrete box girder with Class II piles and spread footings. Abutments were diaphragm type.
The south abutment was in original ground and soil supported, while the north abutment was upon fill and supported on concrete piles.

Eureka Earthquake –November 8, 1980.
Epicenter – 30 miles northwest of Eureka, CA
Magnitude – 6.6 to 7.1 on the Richter Scale
Damage – Collapse of Fields Landing Overhead located on Highway 101
![Page 33: Lecture12 Abutments ( Highway Engineering )](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102614/55a6686c1a28abca668b463f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Aerial View of Fields Landing showing Collapse of Two Spans. Failure caused by earthquake factors which can be attributed to the failure caused by severe skew, rocker bearings at the abutments, hinges at each bent, narrow hinge seats, simply-supported median slab between tan not connected to left and right bridge.
