    This document summarizes MnDOT's bridge office substructure protection policy. It outlines that AASHTO provisions for substructure protection are overly restrictive and do not account for probability of collision, traffic levels, or speeds. The policy provides guidelines for pier protection of new bridges based on risk of vehicle collision. It specifies design requirements such as barrier protection, collision load design, and analysis of single column removal depending on the number of pier columns and risk level. Foundation types are considered adequate to resist lateral loads if other policy requirements are met.

    Structure Protection

    Substructure Protection

    MnDOT Bridge Office Substructure Protection Policy


    AASHTO Provisions are overly restrictive:
    Not accounting for the following Probability of vehicle collision Amount of truck traffic Traffic speed

    MnDOT Bridge Office Substructure Protection Policy


    Abutments
    Due to the existence of soil behind abutment walls, abutments are not affected by the collision load and are considered exempt from meeting the substructure protection requirements.

    Pier Protection Policy


    Applicable Cases:
    Piers of New Bridges Spanning Roadways with Low Risk of Vehicle Collision Piers of New Bridges Spanning Roadways with Normal to High Risk of Vehicle Collision Piers of New Bridges Spanning Railways Piers of Bridges Being Rehabilitated or Reconstructed

    Pier Protection Policy (Contd)


    Specific Design Guidelines Test Level 5 Barrier Protection Application of Vehicle and Railway Train Collision Load Foundations

    Pier Protection Policy (Contd)

    Pier Protection Policy (Contd)

    Pier Protection Policy (Contd)

    Pier Protection Policy (Contd)


    Low Risk of Vehicle Collision
    Sufficient Redundancy (3+ Columns) Low design speeds ( 40 mph) OR Sufficient Redundancy (3+ Columns) Design speed > 40 mph AND not on the Natl Hwy System AND ADTT 500

    Pier Protection Policy (Contd)


    Piers of New Bridges with Normal to High Risk of Vehicle Collision
    Pier within 30 of the edge of the nearest lane Depending on your situation, You have options

    Piers of New Bridges Spanning Rdwys with Normal to High Risk of (Mn/DOT Vehicle Collision Mn/DOT Bridge Office Substructure Protection Policy)
    Requirement
    Protect with a 54 high TLTL-5 barrier placed within 10 from the face of the pier.

    Single Column Two-Column Three-Column Pier Pier Pier

    Provide columns with an area greater than 30 ft per column (based on AREMA heavy construction requirements) and design individual columns for a 400 kip collision load.

    Design for a 400 kip collision load by utilizing a crash strut. (See Figure 1., also see detailing requirements)

    Not Applicable

    Design individual columns for a 400 kip load

    Not Applicable

    Not Applicable

    Validate that the structure will not collapse by analyzing the structure considering removal of any single column. Consider all dead load with a 1.1 load factor. Use live load only on the permanent travel lanes, not the shoulders, with a 1.0 load factor. (For special situations.)

    Not Applicable

    Not Applicable

    Pier Protection Policy (Contd)


    Piers of New Bridges Spanning Railways
    Piers within 50 of the centerline of RR tracks:
    Shall meet the requirements for Piers of New Bridge Spanning Rdwys with Normal to High Risk of Vehicle Collision

    Piers within 25 of centerline of RR tracks:


    In addition to the above requirement, shall also meet AREMA 2.1.5.1

    Pier Protection Policy (Contd)


    Bridges Being Rehabilitated or Reconstructed
    the decision whether to upgrade piers to meet protection requirements will be made on a case by case basis

    Pier Protection Policy (Contd)


    Specific Design Guidance:
    Requirements for Test Level 5 Barrier Protection can be tied into a concrete roadway pavement or shoulder can consist of a stand-alone barrier on a moment slab

    Pier Protection Policy (Contd)


    Test Level 5 Barrier Protection

    Pier Protection Policy (Contd)


    Specific Design Guidance (Contd):
    Requirements for Application of Vehicle and Railway Train Collision Load
    Apply the load in a horizontal plane 4 feet above the groundline Assume the load can act on the pier at any angle up to a maximum of 30 degrees from the direction of the roadway or railway tangent

    Pier Protection Policy (Contd)


    Specific Design Guidance (Contd):
    Foundation Requirements
    Spread footing and pile/drilled shaft foundations are considered adequate to resist the lateral collision load Are exempt from analysis when the other requirements of this policy are met Why? Passive soil pressure, friction, pile structural capacity, unusual displacement under extreme event limit state is ok as long as collapse is averted
