Hayward Fault parallel to BART and crosses BART last major rupture of Hayward Fault (130- to170-year return cycle). Four earthquake scenarios most likely to damage BART: 7.0 Hayward Fault 8.0 San Andreas Fault 6.7 Concord Fault 6.7 Calaveras Fault Bay Area Faults and BART
Retrofit Locations 3 Lafayette Transbay Tube and Associated Structures 22 Miles of Aerial Guideways 19 BART Stations 4 Train Maintenance Yards Parking, Operations and Administration Structures Power, Mechanical, Train Control and Communications Equipment 1 BART-Owned SF Muni Facility
Aerial Guideway Vulnerability Foundations too Small Potential for Crumbling of Columns, Similar to Cypress Freeway Total of 1,918 Aerial Guideway Supports
Strengthen Foundations Jacket Columns (10-15%) Add Shear Keys (10-15%) Aerial Guideway Retrofit Concepts Life SafetyOperability Add Piles (Where Appropriate) Similar Station Retrofits
