Dillon Road Grade Separation Bridge is just 2.2 miles away from the San Andreas Fault. San Andreas is the most famous fault in the world. It is a continental fault between North American Tectonic Plate and the Pacific Tectonic Plate. Its notoriety comes partly from the disastrous 1906 San Francisco earthquake, but rather more importantly because it passes through California. Dillon Road Grade Separation Bridge is in the City of Coachella. It carries Dillon Road over State Route 111 and Union Pacific Rail Road. This paper presents the seismic design of Dillon Road Grade Separation Bridge and discusses the design philosophy, criteria and approach for bridge at high seismic intensity area. The author shares his hand-on experiences on seismic design. It includes know-how on designing an effective seismic resistance system to reduce the displacement demand. Hence, the construction cost is reduced and the bridge's seismic safety is improved.
