Putting Research into Practice: Implementing a Fatigue Detail Classification Scheme for Mn/DOT's Steel Bridges
Principal Investigator:
April 2009
Report no. 2007084TS
Topics: Bridge design and sensing, Research implementation
This project implements research that classifies steel bridges based on the frequency and severity of fracture and fatigue-sensitive details that are present in each bridge. The gross ranking of bridges with high, medium or low need for preventive maintenance or special inspection will be stored in Pontis, Mn/DOT?s bridge management database, for use by bridge inspectors and those responsible for managing Minnesota?s bridges.
