But moving a big heavy barrier like that can’t be done by a few workers in a pickup truck anymore. Now they have a special, custom-made vehicle, dubbed “the zipper machine.” (It’s actually called a “barrier transfer machine,” but even the bridge officials refer to it as the zipper machine, so we’ll go with it.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That zipper machine raised a number of questions for our commuter.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Is it faster for the technicians now to move the lanes? What’s the etiquette of driving around those machines? Why do they have two machines? And why or what dictates when the barrier gets moved on the Golden Gate Bridge?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To answer all those questions, we went to the bridge to talk to Bill San Gregory, who supervises road services. He met us during a morning lane change, as the machine traveled across the bridge, changing the number of lanes back to the default set-up: three headed in each direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, the machine drives along. It’s already on the wall, so it just picks the wall up about 4 inches and moves it over one lane exactly,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The machine isn’t automated. A worker has to drive it, following blue guidelines that have been painted on the road in order to stay in a straight line. (Bonus answer: That’s why there are blue lines painted on the road.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the front-left corner of the machine, the heavy barrier gets picked up, then it snakes through the machine, and comes out the back — moved to the right by one lane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It can sound complicated, but it’s easier to understand if you see it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeX1Fl_1cVE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And just like that, the number of lanes in each direction has changed — and no one had to hang out the back of a truck. Plus, it’s virtually impossible to have a head-on collision now; you’ll just hit the barrier instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was simply a safety factor. That’s why we have that barrier,” said Lisa Locati, the bridge patrol caption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From 1971 to 2007, 16 people died from head-on collisions on the bridge. And how many have died since the new barrier went in? None, said Locati.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not like this was suddenly a new problem two years ago, when the barrier finally went in. Bridge officials have actually been trying to get a moveable barrier in place since 1982.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousbug]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was nothing that would work for our roadway because the lanes are so narrow,” Locati said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center lanes on the Golden Gate Bridge are just 10 feet wide — whereas regular traffic lanes are usually 12 or 13 feet wide — and a regular moveable barrier is 2 feet across. That didn’t leave a lot of room for cars, so something special had to be constructed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They designed this wall specifically for our bridge,” said Locati. “It’s only one foot at its widest point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s how it works, but, per Schmidt’s first question: \u003cstrong>Is it faster than the old system?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”Rgvl86qCkdW2sgMztuo092Ucdf1IsWJ6″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By the time the guys get on the machine and start it up and do all their system checks, to moving the barrier, to then powering down the machine, it takes about an hour,” said Locati. The zipper machine tops out at 7 to 8 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The old system took about an hour, too, so it’s actually not any faster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And \u003cstrong>what if you drive past it while the change is happening?\u003c/strong> San Gregory said: Don’t overthink it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just act normal, drive right by the machine. You don’t have to move or adjust your speed or anything like that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you need to move over because the number of lanes in your direction is changing, then you’ll see a big flashing traffic arrow anyway. The machine can move the barrier only to the right, which means that when it travels south into the city it’s always decreasing the number of lanes traveling into San Francisco — but because it’s fewer lanes from the start of your drive across the bridge, you’ll always feel like you get an additional lane after you pass the zipper machine. So, you will never be driving in a lane and suddenly have it end — that would be unsafe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can watch this video from the company that designed the barrier:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIiZTVORhtQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s also \u003cstrong>why there are two machines\u003c/strong>. When it’s three lanes in each direction, there’s a machine at each end, so the traffic flow could be shifted either way. But once one of the machines travels one way, then there are two machines at that end and four lanes of traffic traveling toward the machines. It could then be easily switched back to three and three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that brings us to Schmidt’s final question: \u003cstrong>“What makes them change the lanes, because it seems really inconsistent?”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the barrier first went in, they’d move it whenever the flow of traffic hit a trigger point — “3,500 vehicles per lane of traffic per hour,” said Locati. But drivers didn’t like the inconsistency of not knowing \u003cem>exactly\u003c/em> when the barrier would move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We realized the public wanted a more concrete schedule, so that it could be predictable,” she said. For about a year now, they’ve been pretty set in their schedule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Basically, they move the barrier at commute time to accommodate traffic flow. To be more specific: Every weekday around 4:30 a.m., they change to four lanes traveling into the city until 9 a.m., when they move back to three in each direction. Then on Tuesdays through Fridays, they switch to four lanes traveling in the outbound direction from 3:30 to 5 p.m. (On Mondays, traffic is lighter, so the number of lanes stays equal in each direction.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This also sounds more complicated than it is. But overall \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/12/us/new-golden-gate-bridge-barrier-draws-sighs-of-relief.html?mcubz=0&_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most drivers\u003c/a> think the zipper machine is much better than the old system — including Schmidt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like the zipper machine, because those pegs, sometimes they would miss a hole and they would just throw it, and it would be laying in the lane. And I would be terrified of running over it and popping my tire,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fear no more, Schmidt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousquestion]\u003c/p>\n\n",

But moving a big heavy barrier like that can’t be done by a few workers in a pickup truck anymore. Now they have a special, custom-made vehicle, dubbed “the zipper machine.” (It’s actually called a “barrier transfer machine,” but even the bridge officials refer to it as the zipper machine, so we’ll go with it.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That zipper machine raised a number of questions for our commuter.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Is it faster for the technicians now to move the lanes? What’s the etiquette of driving around those machines? Why do they have two machines? And why or what dictates when the barrier gets moved on the Golden Gate Bridge?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To answer all those questions, we went to the bridge to talk to Bill San Gregory, who supervises road services. He met us during a morning lane change, as the machine traveled across the bridge, changing the number of lanes back to the default set-up: three headed in each direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, the machine drives along. It’s already on the wall, so it just picks the wall up about 4 inches and moves it over one lane exactly,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The machine isn’t automated. A worker has to drive it, following blue guidelines that have been painted on the road in order to stay in a straight line. (Bonus answer: That’s why there are blue lines painted on the road.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the front-left corner of the machine, the heavy barrier gets picked up, then it snakes through the machine, and comes out the back — moved to the right by one lane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It can sound complicated, but it’s easier to understand if you see it.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/CeX1Fl_1cVE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/CeX1Fl_1cVE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>And just like that, the number of lanes in each direction has changed — and no one had to hang out the back of a truck. Plus, it’s virtually impossible to have a head-on collision now; you’ll just hit the barrier instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was simply a safety factor. That’s why we have that barrier,” said Lisa Locati, the bridge patrol caption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From 1971 to 2007, 16 people died from head-on collisions on the bridge. And how many have died since the new barrier went in? None, said Locati.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not like this was suddenly a new problem two years ago, when the barrier finally went in.

That didn’t leave a lot of room for cars, so something special had to be constructed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They designed this wall specifically for our bridge,” said Locati. “It’s only one foot at its widest point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s how it works, but, per Schmidt’s first question: \u003cstrong>Is it faster than the old system?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By the time the guys get on the machine and start it up and do all their system checks, to moving the barrier, to then powering down the machine, it takes about an hour,” said Locati. The zipper machine tops out at 7 to 8 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The old system took about an hour, too, so it’s actually not any faster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And \u003cstrong>what if you drive past it while the change is happening?\u003c/strong> San Gregory said: Don’t overthink it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just act normal, drive right by the machine. You don’t have to move or adjust your speed or anything like that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you need to move over because the number of lanes in your direction is changing, then you’ll see a big flashing traffic arrow anyway. The machine can move the barrier only to the right, which means that when it travels south into the city it’s always decreasing the number of lanes traveling into San Francisco — but because it’s fewer lanes from the start of your drive across the bridge, you’ll always feel like you get an additional lane after you pass the zipper machine. So, you will never be driving in a lane and suddenly have it end — that would be unsafe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can watch this video from the company that designed the barrier:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/iIiZTVORhtQ'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/iIiZTVORhtQ'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>That’s also \u003cstrong>why there are two machines\u003c/strong>. When it’s three lanes in each direction, there’s a machine at each end, so the traffic flow could be shifted either way. But once one of the machines travels one way, then there are two machines at that end and four lanes of traffic traveling toward the machines. It could then be easily switched back to three and three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that brings us to Schmidt’s final question: \u003cstrong>“What makes them change the lanes, because it seems really inconsistent?”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the barrier first went in, they’d move it whenever the flow of traffic hit a trigger point — “3,500 vehicles per lane of traffic per hour,” said Locati. But drivers didn’t like the inconsistency of not knowing \u003cem>exactly\u003c/em> when the barrier would move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We realized the public wanted a more concrete schedule, so that it could be predictable,” she said. For about a year now, they’ve been pretty set in their schedule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Basically, they move the barrier at commute time to accommodate traffic flow. To be more specific: Every weekday around 4:30 a.m., they change to four lanes traveling into the city until 9 a.m., when they move back to three in each direction. Then on Tuesdays through Fridays, they switch to four lanes traveling in the outbound direction from 3:30 to 5 p.m. (On Mondays, traffic is lighter, so the number of lanes stays equal in each direction.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This also sounds more complicated than it is. But overall \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/12/us/new-golden-gate-bridge-barrier-draws-sighs-of-relief.html?mcubz=0&_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most drivers\u003c/a> think the zipper machine is much better than the old system — including Schmidt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like the zipper machine, because those pegs, sometimes they would miss a hole and they would just throw it, and it would be laying in the lane. And I would be terrified of running over it and popping my tire,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fear no more, Schmidt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Ever since the Golden Gate Bridge opened to traffic on May 27, 1937, it’s been an iconic symbol on the American landscape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 1870, people had realized the necessity of building a bridge spanning the Golden Gate Strait to connect the city of San Francisco with Marin County. However, it was another half-century before structural engineer Joseph Strauss submitted his bridge proposal. The plans evolved, and the final project was approved as a suspension bridge that ended up taking \u003ca href=\"http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/golden-gate-bridge-is-born\">over four years to build\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Golden Gate Bridge went up, it was the longest suspended bridge span in the world -- cables hold up the roadway between two towers, with no intermediate supports. And the setting had a number of inherent challenges. It cost about \u003ca href=\"http://goldengatebridge.org/research/ConstructionPrimeContr.php\">$37 million\u003c/a> at the time; building the same structure today would cost about a billion dollars. So how has the design held up over the past 80 years –- and would we do things differently if we were starting from scratch today?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Longest Suspension Bridge in the World\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge, meaning it relies on cables and suspenders under tension along with towers under compression to cross a long distance without any intermediate supports. The roadway deck hangs from vertical suspenders that connect to the two main cables that run between the towers and the anchors on the end. The suspenders transfer vehicular forces and self-weight to the supporting cables that are anchored to towers and onto solid ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first bridges of this type probably connected two cliffs with flexible ropes to cross a valley or a river. Hundreds of years ago, these ropes were made of plant fiber; iron chains came later. The Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, opened in 1883, was the first to use steel cables, which then became standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The towers likely started as a simple rock on each side of a valley; eventually engineers used massive stone or steel piers. The Golden Gate Bridge, for instance, is supported by one abutment on each end and the two towers, which are placed over foundations embedded in the seafloor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden Gate Bridge’s two supporting cables are about the only thing that has not been changed since the bridge was opened to traffic in 1937. Each main cable is formed by 27,572 steel wires with the approximate thickness of a pencil. Construction crews hung nearly \u003ca href=\"http://goldengatebridge.org/research/factsGGBDesign.php\">80,000 miles of wire cables\u003c/a> from one side of the bridge to the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">Since people first started pondering a bridge in the bay of San Francisco, there was huge concern about the structure’s ability to withstand the location’s strong winds, turbulent waters and possible earthquake forces.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It’s nearly impossible to manufacture a long, thick cable in one piece with no flaws to do this job. And crucially, if a single big cable was holding the bridge up and something happened to it, there would be a catastrophic failure. Relying on smaller wires means any failure would be slower, leaving time to divert disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since people first started pondering a bridge in the bay of San Francisco, there was huge concern about the structure’s ability to withstand the location’s strong winds, turbulent waters and possible earthquake forces. San Francisco is located at the intersection of two \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfnps.org/geology\">active tectonic plates\u003c/a> -- obviously no one wanted to see an earthquake bring down the bridge, which currently carries around \u003ca href=\"http://goldengatebridge.org/tolls_traffic/\">112,000 vehicles per day\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To avoid this problem, the builders also located shock absorbers at each end of the bridge to absorb the energy coming from wind or seismic forces. These specially designed vibration dampers are meter-diameter cylinders made of a lead core covered by rubber. Placed at strategic locations, they absorb energy that could otherwise cause the bridge to collapse.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Keeping It in Good Shape\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Conventional wisdom would suggest an infrastructure project is done soon after its inauguration. But keeping the Golden Gate Bridge in tiptop form requires ongoing stringent maintenance. For 80 years, \u003ca href=\"http://goldengatebridge.org/research/caretakers.php\">dedicated maintenance crews\u003c/a> have serviced the bridge, repainting and substituting the corroded or broken components where necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This work must be done to exacting standards. For example, when any of the thousands of bolts that connect all the various pieces of the bridge need replacement, no more than two are taken out simultaneously, to keep the bridge safe against strong winds or earthquakes forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are structural maintenance issues, too. Due to the passage of time and ongoing temperature variability, the cables and suspenders elongate or contract and need periodical checking and retensioning. This type of adjustment is referred to as “tuning” and is similar to how a musician keeps a stringed instrument sounding its best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11514487\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11514487\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1937-sailboat-roadway-hanging-best.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1937-sailboat-roadway-hanging-best.jpeg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1937-sailboat-roadway-hanging-best-160x128.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1937-sailboat-roadway-hanging-best-240x192.jpeg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1937-sailboat-roadway-hanging-best-375x299.jpeg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1937-sailboat-roadway-hanging-best-520x415.jpeg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">It was on November 18, 1936, that the two sections of the main span were joined in the middle.

Setting aside the political feasibility, how would engineers design the bridge if they were going to build it from scratch today?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over time, researchers have developed lighter materials. Using Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) rather than steel or concrete is a way to reduce the weight of a structure of this magnitude. This self-weight is typically responsible for using up 70 to 80 percent of its resistance – that’s the maximum load it can bear before it fails. By reducing it, the bridge’s structure would need less strength, allowing for cheaper and easier options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probably a designer’s first target for change in a substitute Golden Gate Bridge would be the composition of the cables. The steel currently in use is corrosive, heavier by four times than newer materials and can fail in harsh moisture and temperature environments – just like those it encounters in this location. Carbon cables are more inert and already in use around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These lighter-than-steel materials could also be utilized in other elements of the bridge, such as the traffic roadway. Using plastic composite decking could bring the Golden Gate Bridge’s deck self-weight down by a factor of five. That would enable engineers to design and construct a cable-stayed bridge rather than a suspension bridge. The advantage there would be the ability to do away with the suspenders; in a cable-stayed bridge forces are transmitted directly from the deck to the towers by the cables. The first highway cable-stayed bridge with CFRP cables is Switzerland’s Stork Bridge, opened in 1996.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11524701\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11524701\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1936-Workers-feature-image.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1936-Workers-feature-image.jpeg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1936-Workers-feature-image-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1936-Workers-feature-image-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1936-Workers-feature-image-375x211.jpeg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1936-Workers-feature-image-520x293.jpeg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cable formers kept the 61 main cable bundles in vertical rows.

Used with Permission, www.goldengate.org.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A cable-stayed bridge can have a longer span than a suspension bridge, so its structure between the supports and the shore could be simpler. Also building the towers nearer to the shore, where the waterbed is more shallow, would help alleviate one of the main problems when the Golden Gate Bridge was constructed the first time around: It’s very difficult and expensive to work on the tower foundations in deep water with strong currents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The damping system could also be addressed with a new design. The lead core-based dampers that were used in the construction of the Golden Gate could be replaced by newer technologies that are better able to resist wind, traffic and seismic forces. This improvement would ensure that a failure such as the one on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge -- when wind blew the bridge sideways, it twisted and collapsed -- would be prevented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all that said, the Golden Gate Bridge is still doing fine. Even with other feasible and cheaper options, no one is realistically working to replace the Art Deco icon and its world famous “international orange” paint job. The Golden Gate Bridge is closely monitored to make sure it does not exceed its stress limits due to traffic, wind and seismic loads. We can look forward to at least another 80 years of this engineering masterpiece.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was originally published on The Conversation.

However, it was another half-century before structural engineer Joseph Strauss submitted his bridge proposal. The plans evolved, and the final project was approved as a suspension bridge that ended up taking \u003ca href=\"http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/golden-gate-bridge-is-born\">over four years to build\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Golden Gate Bridge went up, it was the longest suspended bridge span in the world -- cables hold up the roadway between two towers, with no intermediate supports. And the setting had a number of inherent challenges. It cost about \u003ca href=\"http://goldengatebridge.org/research/ConstructionPrimeContr.php\">$37 million\u003c/a> at the time; building the same structure today would cost about a billion dollars. So how has the design held up over the past 80 years –- and would we do things differently if we were starting from scratch today?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Longest Suspension Bridge in the World\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge, meaning it relies on cables and suspenders under tension along with towers under compression to cross a long distance without any intermediate supports. The roadway deck hangs from vertical suspenders that connect to the two main cables that run between the towers and the anchors on the end. The suspenders transfer vehicular forces and self-weight to the supporting cables that are anchored to towers and onto solid ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first bridges of this type probably connected two cliffs with flexible ropes to cross a valley or a river. Hundreds of years ago, these ropes were made of plant fiber; iron chains came later. The Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, opened in 1883, was the first to use steel cables, which then became standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Golden Gate Bridge, for instance, is supported by one abutment on each end and the two towers, which are placed over foundations embedded in the seafloor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden Gate Bridge’s two supporting cables are about the only thing that has not been changed since the bridge was opened to traffic in 1937. Each main cable is formed by 27,572 steel wires with the approximate thickness of a pencil. Construction crews hung nearly \u003ca href=\"http://goldengatebridge.org/research/factsGGBDesign.php\">80,000 miles of wire cables\u003c/a> from one side of the bridge to the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">Since people first started pondering a bridge in the bay of San Francisco, there was huge concern about the structure’s ability to withstand the location’s strong winds, turbulent waters and possible earthquake forces.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It’s nearly impossible to manufacture a long, thick cable in one piece with no flaws to do this job. And crucially, if a single big cable was holding the bridge up and something happened to it, there would be a catastrophic failure. Relying on smaller wires means any failure would be slower, leaving time to divert disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since people first started pondering a bridge in the bay of San Francisco, there was huge concern about the structure’s ability to withstand the location’s strong winds, turbulent waters and possible earthquake forces. San Francisco is located at the intersection of two \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfnps.org/geology\">active tectonic plates\u003c/a> -- obviously no one wanted to see an earthquake bring down the bridge, which currently carries around \u003ca href=\"http://goldengatebridge.org/tolls_traffic/\">112,000 vehicles per day\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To avoid this problem, the builders also located shock absorbers at each end of the bridge to absorb the energy coming from wind or seismic forces. These specially designed vibration dampers are meter-diameter cylinders made of a lead core covered by rubber. Placed at strategic locations, they absorb energy that could otherwise cause the bridge to collapse.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Keeping It in Good Shape\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Conventional wisdom would suggest an infrastructure project is done soon after its inauguration. But keeping the Golden Gate Bridge in tiptop form requires ongoing stringent maintenance. For 80 years, \u003ca href=\"http://goldengatebridge.org/research/caretakers.php\">dedicated maintenance crews\u003c/a> have serviced the bridge, repainting and substituting the corroded or broken components where necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This work must be done to exacting standards. For example, when any of the thousands of bolts that connect all the various pieces of the bridge need replacement, no more than two are taken out simultaneously, to keep the bridge safe against strong winds or earthquakes forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are structural maintenance issues, too. Due to the passage of time and ongoing temperature variability, the cables and suspenders elongate or contract and need periodical checking and retensioning. This type of adjustment is referred to as “tuning” and is similar to how a musician keeps a stringed instrument sounding its best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11514487\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11514487\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1937-sailboat-roadway-hanging-best.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1937-sailboat-roadway-hanging-best.jpeg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1937-sailboat-roadway-hanging-best-160x128.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1937-sailboat-roadway-hanging-best-240x192.jpeg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1937-sailboat-roadway-hanging-best-375x299.jpeg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1937-sailboat-roadway-hanging-best-520x415.jpeg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">It was on November 18, 1936, that the two sections of the main span were joined in the middle.

Setting aside the political feasibility, how would engineers design the bridge if they were going to build it from scratch today?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over time, researchers have developed lighter materials. Using Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) rather than steel or concrete is a way to reduce the weight of a structure of this magnitude. This self-weight is typically responsible for using up 70 to 80 percent of its resistance – that’s the maximum load it can bear before it fails. By reducing it, the bridge’s structure would need less strength, allowing for cheaper and easier options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probably a designer’s first target for change in a substitute Golden Gate Bridge would be the composition of the cables. The steel currently in use is corrosive, heavier by four times than newer materials and can fail in harsh moisture and temperature environments – just like those it encounters in this location. Carbon cables are more inert and already in use around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These lighter-than-steel materials could also be utilized in other elements of the bridge, such as the traffic roadway. Using plastic composite decking could bring the Golden Gate Bridge’s deck self-weight down by a factor of five. That would enable engineers to design and construct a cable-stayed bridge rather than a suspension bridge. The advantage there would be the ability to do away with the suspenders; in a cable-stayed bridge forces are transmitted directly from the deck to the towers by the cables. The first highway cable-stayed bridge with CFRP cables is Switzerland’s Stork Bridge, opened in 1996.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11524701\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11524701\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1936-Workers-feature-image.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1936-Workers-feature-image.jpeg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1936-Workers-feature-image-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1936-Workers-feature-image-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1936-Workers-feature-image-375x211.jpeg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/GGB-1936-Workers-feature-image-520x293.jpeg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cable formers kept the 61 main cable bundles in vertical rows. From the holdings of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District. Used with Permission, www.goldengate.org.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A cable-stayed bridge can have a longer span than a suspension bridge, so its structure between the supports and the shore could be simpler. Also building the towers nearer to the shore, where the waterbed is more shallow, would help alleviate one of the main problems when the Golden Gate Bridge was constructed the first time around: It’s very difficult and expensive to work on the tower foundations in deep water with strong currents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The damping system could also be addressed with a new design. The lead core-based dampers that were used in the construction of the Golden Gate could be replaced by newer technologies that are better able to resist wind, traffic and seismic forces. This improvement would ensure that a failure such as the one on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge -- when wind blew the bridge sideways, it twisted and collapsed -- would be prevented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all that said, the Golden Gate Bridge is still doing fine. Even with other feasible and cheaper options, no one is realistically working to replace the Art Deco icon and its world famous “international orange” paint job. The Golden Gate Bridge is closely monitored to make sure it does not exceed its stress limits due to traffic, wind and seismic loads. We can look forward to at least another 80 years of this engineering masterpiece.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District wants more time to come up with the funding for a long-discussed suicide prevention barrier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s board of directors unanimously voted Friday to let its staff request a 90-day extension from the two firms that offered bids on the steel net that would be installed along the bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland-based Shimmick/Danny’s Joint Venture bid $142 million and American Bridge Company of Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, bid $174 million back in July. Both bids were significantly larger than the $76 million the bridge district had \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/06/27/golden-gate-bridge-suicide-barrier/\">set aside for the project\u003c/a> in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those bids expire on Oct. 10, but the bridge district is asking the companies to extend the deadline until Jan. 9, 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, we need more time,” bridge district spokeswoman Priya Clemens said. “We need time to look at the bids, and we need time to potentially find more funding to award one of these bids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the latest delay in a process that has seen many since it began in 2005. Several of the previous delays were also funding-related, with the board initially hesitant to use toll funds to pay for the project and some board members concerned over whether the net would be an effective deterrent. Clemens says the bridge district expects a six-to-12 month delay to the four-year project, pushing completion of the net to 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project got a boost in 2012 when a new law made a \u003ca href=\"http://goldengate.org/news/bridge/net_barrier_fed_funds.php\">broader range of federal funding\u003c/a> available for safety barriers and nets on bridges, and Clemens says the bridge district will look into both state and federal funding options to close the money gap. The current $76 million earmarked for the net includes $27 million from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, $22 million from Caltrans, $20 million from the bridge district and $7 million from state Mental Health Services Act funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clemens said that despite the delays, the board is still committed to getting the net installed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The extra costs are certainly a concern for board members, but it has not deterred their desire to end the scourge of suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 500 people have committed suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge since 2000, including 22 this year through Aug. 22, according to the bridge district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/timeline3/latest/embed/index.html?source=1jUf_n-6nCMj6pqgzWoUNOKSMNcEJUZexMJ39rFEArK0&font=Default&lang=en&initial_zoom=2&height=650\" width=\"100%\" height=\"650\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Several of the previous delays were also funding-related, with the board initially hesitant to use toll funds to pay for the project and some board members concerned over whether the net would be an effective deterrent. Clemens says the bridge district expects a six-to-12 month delay to the four-year project, pushing completion of the net to 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project got a boost in 2012 when a new law made a \u003ca href=\"http://goldengate.org/news/bridge/net_barrier_fed_funds.php\">broader range of federal funding\u003c/a> available for safety barriers and nets on bridges, and Clemens says the bridge district will look into both state and federal funding options to close the money gap. The current $76 million earmarked for the net includes $27 million from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, $22 million from Caltrans, $20 million from the bridge district and $7 million from state Mental Health Services Act funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clemens said that despite the delays, the board is still committed to getting the net installed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The extra costs are certainly a concern for board members, but it has not deterred their desire to end the scourge of suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 500 people have committed suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge since 2000, including 22 this year through Aug. 22, according to the bridge district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/timeline3/latest/embed/index.html?source=1jUf_n-6nCMj6pqgzWoUNOKSMNcEJUZexMJ39rFEArK0&font=Default&lang=en&initial_zoom=2&height=650\" width=\"100%\" height=\"650\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

That’s the highest usage the bridge has seen in nearly 15 years, which Clemens said has also helped rein in the bridge district’s deficit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you take the really long view, even the pricey-looking pay-by-plate toll of $7.50 is a bargain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, only southbound drivers pay a toll.

Bridge directors actually reduced tolls three times — to 40 cents each way in July 1950; to 30 cents in February 1955; and to 25 cents in October 1955. A 40-trip book of commute tickets was priced at $7 after that final reduction,.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those 1955 cuts were made in response to pressure from local politicians — notably state Sen. Jack McCarthy, a Republican representing parts of Marin and San Francisco — who argued that the district’s revenue from bridge tolls was far more than it needed to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the district voted in August 1955 to reduce the toll to a quarter, board member William Hadeler foresaw a future that could be toll-free, if only cash weren’t needed to keep the bridge in good repair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not going to be content with a 25-cent toll,” Hadeler said, according to what was then called the Daily Independent Journal (today’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinij.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marin IJ\u003c/a>). “As soon as conditions permit, I — and I am sure all of the directors — would like to see the toll reduced to 20 cents, to 15 cents, to 10 cents; and some day, if possible, no toll at all. But free tolls are something for the distant future. The Golden Gate Bridge is here for all time. It has to be operated and maintained so that it will always be here. And someone must pay the cost of those expenditures. That is why we have tolls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That “someone” who needs to pay the cost of upkeep turns out to be us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bridge district managed to keep fares at the equivalent of 50 cents per round trip until 1974, when the price went up to 75 cents (or $3.65 in today’s bucks.)

The empty stadium is about 300 feet away. Any decent outfielder could throw a baseball and hit the side of the structure. If Lennar Corp has its way, someday this spring, a contractor will install several thousand explosive devices below the upper deck of the ballpark and throw the switch. The blast will cause the top sections of Candlestick to collapse in a dramatic implosion. And Moore fears her house, her neighborhood, a nearby playground, a school, a new condo development and potentially other parts of the Bayview neighborhood could be enveloped in a cloud of concrete dust. \u003ca href=\"http://48hillsonline.org/2015/01/06/kaboom-the-plan-to-blow-up-candlestick/\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Tiny parasite threatens California native plants\u003c/strong> \u003cem>(KQED Science)\u003c/em>:\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Twenty years ago, scores of trees began visibly dying off around the Bay Area, in what turned out to be the advent of Sudden Oak Death.

If it were to appear, the report said it “would likely cause severe economic impacts to the nursery trade, as well as environmental impacts on native species.” Then in the fall of 2012, it showed up at a nursery in Monterey County. \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/science/audio/tiny-parasite-threatens-native-plants/\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Why the Silk Road trial matters\u003c/strong> \u003cem>(Wired)\u003c/em>:\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Ross Ulbricht is finally getting his day in court, 15 months after plainclothes FBI agents grabbed him in the science fiction section of a San Francisco library and accused him of running the billion-dollar online drug bazaar known as the Silk Road.

Using transfer machines, the barrier will be moved several times a day to create more lanes in a particular direction to accommodate variable traffic demands such as the morning and evening commutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new merge will be very different for southbound vehicles. Where drivers currently merge from left to right, the new merge will be from right to left. In addition, the speed limit will be dropped to 45 miles per hour from the current 55 miles per hour on the descent down the Waldo Grade. Lastly, with the installation of the barrier, the two inside lanes will lose 6-inches of width. Getting used to driving next to the barrier may take some adjustment for some drivers, and the District advises motorists to take it slow and get used to the new driving conditions.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The movable media barrier system consists of approximately 13,340 feet of 12-inch-wide and 32-inch-high \"steel-clad units filled with high-density concrete tightly pinned together to form a semi-rigid median barrier,\" the district says, plus two barrier transfer machines, aka zipper trucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The projects will cost about $30.3 million, the district says. About 19 percent of that will come from toll revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's an \u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/115360942\" target=\"_blank\">animated video\u003c/a> of what the new configuration will look like:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[vimeo 115360942 w=500 h=281]\u003c/p>\n\n",

A Caltrans spokesman told the Marin Independent Journal that the Golden Gate Bridge closure will mean lots of extra vehicles on this alternate route to and from the North Bay. \"We expect it to be as busy as it is during the work week,\" Bob Haus said. \"People should leave extra time to get where they are going.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So Long \"Suicide Lane\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're feeling particularly inconvenienced, know that the bridge is being closed for a good reason: to replace the plastic pylons that now separate northbound and southbound traffic with a movable, 1-foot wide median barrier that bridge officials say will \"virtually eliminate crossover collisions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some locals have grimly dubbed the lanes closest to oncoming traffic the \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Median-Barrier-OKd-for-Golden-Gate-Bridge-3005578.php\" target=\"_blank\">suicide lane\u003c/a>\" because of all the accidents involving vehicles crossing over onto the wrong side of the pylons. The San Francisco Chronicle \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Movable-median-barrier-coming-to-Golden-Gate-5501070.php\" target=\"_blank\">reported\u003c/a> in May that of the 36 people who have been killed in accidents on the bridge since 1970, 16 died in crossover collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last fatality on the bridge, however, occurred in 2001, and the Golden Gate Bridge Highway & Transportation District says the accident rate has been significantly reduced since the 1980s due to the reduction in speed limit over the bridge to 45 mph, wider driving lanes and increased traffic enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(To hear about the effects of a nonfatal head-on collision on the bridge, listen to Mina Kim's \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/states-of-grace-documents-roller-coaster-healing-process\" target=\"_blank\">interview\u003c/a> earlier this week with Dr. Grace Damman, who survived one with another vehicle driven by someone who fell asleep at the wheel. Damann, who lobbied for the new median, is the subject of the documentary \"\u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/26124168\" target=\"_blank\">States of Grace\u003c/a>.\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The New Barrier\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's how the district describes the new traffic division system that's being put in place:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The barrier will be installed on the 1.7-mile-long Bridge and on the approach portion of Highway 101, north of the Golden Gate Bridge, starting at Alexander Avenue. Using transfer machines, the barrier will be moved several times a day to create more lanes in a particular direction to accommodate variable traffic demands such as the morning and evening commutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new merge will be very different for southbound vehicles. Where drivers currently merge from left to right, the new merge will be from right to left. In addition, the speed limit will be dropped to 45 miles per hour from the current 55 miles per hour on the descent down the Waldo Grade. Lastly, with the installation of the barrier, the two inside lanes will lose 6-inches of width. Getting used to driving next to the barrier may take some adjustment for some drivers, and the District advises motorists to take it slow and get used to the new driving conditions.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The movable media barrier system consists of approximately 13,340 feet of 12-inch-wide and 32-inch-high \"steel-clad units filled with high-density concrete tightly pinned together to form a semi-rigid median barrier,\" the district says, plus two barrier transfer machines, aka zipper trucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The projects will cost about $30.3 million, the district says. About 19 percent of that will come from toll revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's an \u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/115360942\" target=\"_blank\">animated video\u003c/a> of what the new configuration will look like:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
