Session: Foundations 3

ABSTRACT: Three snowmobile auxiliary bridges were built in 2022 and 2023 to provide a safe crossing of the Romaine Salmon River and of the Aisley River. The auxiliary bridges, on the edge of Route 138, are connected to the Trans-Québec no. 3 snowmobile trail that links Tadoussac to Baie-Johan-Beetz on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. This article specifically addresses the design and construction of the abutment’s foundations of the Aisley River auxiliary bridge. They consist of deep steel piles driven to refusal in overburden and to rock. These foundations, constructed in the shelter of riverbank sheet piles, are located in the limits of the Goldthwait Clay Sea. Vibrations during pile driving to refusal were measured to ensure compliance with MTQ vibration criteria at the nearby Route 138 bridge. Dynamic monitoring was done on piles to confirm their capacity.
