Protecting Critical Civil Infrastructure Against Impact from Commercial Vehicles – Phase 3, A Systems Based Approach Including Fire

This proposal will expand on work completed for M05 by: (1) Analytically investigate the performance of uncoated and FRP/polyurea-coated single and multiple bridge pier columns, and the entire bridge system subjected to combined blast, impact, and fire loads, with, pressure, temperature and material response time-histories being investigated. (2) Completing advanced computational studies that include representative bridge system response to vehicle impact and air blast before and after fire exposure to ascertain system effects on robustness. (3) Improving and expanding upon Phase 1 and 2 recommendations and design aids based on results from items 1 and 2. Project deliverables include enhanced aids/guidelines along with modified code language.
