Recommendations for Improving Fire Performance of Steel Bridge Girders
项目名称: Recommendations for Improving Fire Performance of Steel Bridge Girders
摘要: Infrastructure risk due to fire has been well documented. In particular, bridges in the urban environment are susceptible due to low overhead clearances on overpasses, existing simple spans with no redundancy, narrow lane widths, and general alignment congestion. Although the risk is significant, the current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Bridge Design Specification does not include provisions for any design due to fire conditions. Additionally, there is a dearth of code requirements for fire protection of bridges. As such, this research will consider alternatives for improved fire resistance in steel bridges including the use of both traditional and non-traditional fire protection methods.
