Post-Fire Damage Inspection of Concrete Structures - Phase III - In-Situ Experimental Phase |
摘要: |
Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has experienced several recent tunnel
fires, as reported in recent MassDOT reports. Post
event evaluation of damage has been difficult
due to insufficient information and protocols. A
better understanding of post-event condition is
needed.
The current project will complement efforts
which are underway in the second phase of this
research program. In short, Phase I provided a
thorough literature review, development of a
draft inspection protocol checklist, and
evaluation of a heat system for physical testing,
while Phase II provides results from a laboratory
experimental program where concrete panels
(and some tunnel non-structural components)
are tested.
Phase III will modify the heating set up
developed in Phase II for in-situ heating and field
verification of existing structural elements being
removed from service. This will allow for field
results that include in-situ moisture content and
thermal conductivity to verify results from the
laboratory tests, as well as proof of concept for
using the heating set up in field testing. Testing
will only be completed on components that are
scheduled for demolition or removal, and are
expected to include both tunnel (wall or panel
elements) and bridge components (deck,
abutment or pier). |
