Improving Transportation Infrastructure Resilience against Hurricanes, other Natural Disasters, and Weathering: Part II - Analysis of pedestrian bridges failures due to Hurricane Maria
项目名称: Improving Transportation Infrastructure Resilience against Hurricanes, other Natural Disasters, and Weathering: Part II - Analysis of pedestrian bridges failures due to Hurricane Maria
摘要: The primary goal of this proposal is to analyze pedestrian bridges that were damaged or collapsed during Hurricane Maria. The specific objectives of the project are: (a) Develop an inventory of pedestrian bridges that experienced damages or collapsed and document the type of failures experienced. (b) Study a case of a steel pedestrian bridge which has experienced lateral bending in a plastic range due to the impact of hurricane Maria. This pedestrian bridge is located over a primary artery of the San Juan Metropolitan Area and was used to install traffic signs after its construction. The intended outcome of the project is for the Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works (PRDOT) and FHWA-PR to take the necessary steps to improve the design and construction of pedestrian bridges, and the installation of traffic sign on pedestrian bridges. The assessment of pedestrian bridge ownership and the compiled data will be also valuable to the PRDOT.
