(Deborah Svoboda/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Ohio company made threaded rods (also called bolts) that snapped when tightened last month, and also supplied many other components for the project. But Gordon could not say how many or how crucial are the parts that Dyson supplied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Toll Bridge Program Oversight Committee \"has ordered a thorough review, which includes looking at all possible options for fixing the situation in regard to the bolts that broke, how the shear key that those bolts were supposed to hold down can be secured, thoroughly looking at the other rods that are out there that were provided by Dyson, and looking at any and all other components and pieces that were also provided by Dyson,\" Gordon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The list of those parts \"is being compiled,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \"records obtained by the [Sacramento] Bee\" show that at least 15 other parts from the company have failed quality tests, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2013/04/01/5308945/caltrans-reviewing-whether-broken.html\">according to the newspaper\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>According to Caltrans records, the parts manufactured by Dyson that failed quality tests\u003c!--more--> included 1-inch diameter, 17-inch long bolts - also for the shear keys and bearings - and 3.5-inch diameter, 4-foot long anchor rods for the main cable of the suspension span.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The problem surfaced last week when Tony Anziano, toll bridge program manager, revealed at a meeting of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission that 32 out of 96 anchor rods holding two shear keys had snapped. The shear keys are intended to bolster part of the bridge in an earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon did give an accounting of the number of such rods: \"There are a total 288 anchor rods, 24 anchor rods for each bearing, four bearings, 48 anchor rods for each shear key. The rods in question are the 96 that were tightened for two shear keys.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he said bridge engineers had not decided yet how to test the rods and other components from Dyson.

Tony Anziano, the toll bridge program manager for Caltrans, explained that when the vertical rods snapped, it forced the bolts attached to the rods upward. There was no failure in the bolts themselves. The rods are part of the bridge's seismic stability design and are not responsible for holding the weight of the bridge. They are meant to prevent the bridge's deck from jolting upward and disconnecting from the massive pillars that support it in the event of a major earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The questionable rods were discovered on a pillar close to Treasure Island, but only 96 of the potentially 277 affected rods are accessible to work crews. Others are embedded in concrete. That means Caltrans won't be able to replace all the rods and is considering other design options for seismic stability. One possibility is a collar to prevent upward movement of the deck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials refused to discuss how much changing course would cost, but did say their budget includes room for setbacks like this one. They don't expect it to delay completion of the project.

There was no failure in the bolts themselves. The rods are part of the bridge's seismic stability design and are not responsible for holding the weight of the bridge.

Falsified data is the most troubling. We know in at least three circumstances that data was proved to be falsified by a technician at Caltrans responsible for testing the foundations of a variety of freeway structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also know there were irregularities in both the design and the testing of the Bay Bridge main tower. There is no evidence at this point that data were falsified associated with that tower, however, because the design and the testing concerns are significant, experts I've spoken to suggest a review be made of this tower to ensure its safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately the response from Caltrans has been mostly to assert that the structures, including the Bay Bridge tower, are safe, without providing evidence to suggest they've done the proper analysis to ensure that safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We did a close review of 50,000 testing documents, memos, personnel files, and evaluations of Caltrans data associated with bridge testing. We found many of their responses are directly contradicted by their own testing documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We found that structures all over the state of California were tested by an individual, Duane Wiles, known to have falsified data on at least three structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also failed to validate the function of the test instrument, a complex precision instrument that requires daily verification of its proper functioning in order to provide reliable data. Since he didn't do that on the Bay Bridge and on many other structures over a period of years, there are experts who believe it calls into question the validity of the test results. In many cases he gave a clean bill of health to structures that were tested improperly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a couple of other really troubling aspects that I've been hoping Caltrans can respond effectively to but haven't so far. One is that the portions of the Bay Bridge Tower foundation tested by Wiles were not tested with a second testing technique that could have allayed many of the concerns associated with those piles. For some reason Caltrans did not test those piles that he was responsible for with a second testing technique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Secondly, the technicians at Caltrans, including Mr. Wiles, for years and years did not save the raw data files associated with their tests. These are the most important part of determining whether other fabrications took place. So what Caltrans is asserting is that no other fabrications took place, but they don’t have the data files that could validate their claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans also claims a very thorough investigation was made once the first falsification was found in 2008, so that the tests were evaluated very carefully by their own internal investigators. But I have documents by the very people who were involved directly in conducting that so-called evaluation who describe it as cursory, as completely inadequate, and that Caltrans has grossly misrepresented that process. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
