RESUMEN: El nuevo tramo al este del Puente de la bahía entre San Francisco y Oakland (Bay Bridge) cuenta con una sola torre anclada auto-suspendida (SAS) que se convertirá en la mas grande de su clase en el mundo cuando se complete en el año 2013. Durante la construcción del puente de SAS, se requieren torres temporales y armaduras para apoyar las vigas de caja hasta que se instalen los cables de suspensión. Las torres temporales se apoyan en diversos tipos de fundaciones que consisten en micro-pilotes, pilotes de hormigón armado moldeados en roca in situ, y pilotes de acero de gran diámetro terminados en sedimentos marinos y roca. Esta publicación técnica detalla algunos de los desafios enfrentados durante el diseño y construcción de los cimientos de la torre. La construcción de las torres temporales y las fundaciones se comenzaron en el año 2008 y se completaron en el año 2010, y la colocación de vigas de caja y la construcción de la torre principal está actualmente en curso.
