摘要:
Visual inspection protocols to assess damage
to a tunnel after a fire. Currently, there is a lack
of a concise inspection protocol based on
visual observation of non-structural &
structural fire damaged tunnel components.
The objective of this project is to provide a
better understanding of post-event condition
through visual observations and
non-destructive tools using a chart/checklist.
The final outcome will be used to populate the
fire section of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) tunnel inspection
guidelines.
In brief, the goals of the project are: (1) Report experimental results of heating
structural and non-structural elements using
the new heating setup at the Brack Structural
Testing Facility at UMass. (2) Conduct residual strength tests of structural
components. (3) Provide an updated/improved flow
chart/checklist that will be used as a tool for
post-fire inspection protocols specific to
MassDOT tunnel materials and components. It
will also contain photos of actual fire damage. (4) Further investigate the efficiency of
non-destructive testing techniques. (5) Provide recommendations for future
research.
