B.E.
You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.
RE: California Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge damaged by rains/earth
From this view I'd have to agree.

Yep. Definitely replace here - no patch and sack.
I wonder if concrete arch on augercast pile or caissons further up the hillside would work better...

"I can't really state in what direction it may be moving."
"It's unknown at this point how the existing structure will be demolished."
I suppose the spokesman was taking a less simplistic view than I was.

That bump that the bridge experiences when the cars hit the other side of the dip in the roadway should accelerate the deterioration and possibly help with the demolition.

Looks like day 1 of demo didn't go as well as hoped.
RE: California Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge damaged by rains/earth
I'm as green as they come. But if the goal is to just get the thing to collapse, it seems like a few carefully placed shape charges would be just the ticket.

They decided to use a wrecking ball to bring it down and predicted 1 to 2 days. It took weeks of beating on it!
Their 'environmental concern' is par-for-the-course along that iconic coast. I did a complex surface-water drinking system for a $25M house that hung over the ocean. The walkway to the filtration house was a narrow concrete path down a fairly steep slope. The path skirted the cliff being perhaps 6 inches from a 700 foot drop to Pacific Ocean. There was no handrail what-so-ever. Eventually the owners put up a handrail for about 20 feet at the closest-to-the-ocean approach. A month later a lady driving by on HWY1 chance glimpsed a few feet of the handrail from the highway in a specific spot more than 100 yards away and only along about 20 feet of the highway and reported it to the "authorities". The home owners were run thru the wringer for damaging the view.

Aren't chemical explosions natural reactions?
