Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date June 19, 1990
Report No. RCED-90-177
Subject
Summary:

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Loma Prieta earthquake in California, which caused sections of a highway and a bridge to collapse.

GAO found that: (1) the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) knew that the highway's support columns were vulnerable to earthquake damage; (2) only the first phase of a three-phase seismic retrofit program had been completed for the highway; (3) CalTrans believed that the bridge had been sufficiently retrofitted prior to the earthquake and did not consider it susceptible to collapse; and (4) the Federal Highway Administration had allocated $5.5 billion to California in the last 16 years to projects that included seismic retrofitting.
