Heat Straightening Repair in Connecticut
The proposed research aims to establish the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT)’s own heat straightening repair guidelines and protocols. Additionally, the establishment of a dedicated heat straightening training program to equip CTDOT's engineers and contractors with the necessary skills and knowledge is to be proposed. For this research, an evaluation of the current conditions of heat straightening repair in New England, with a primary focus on Connecticut is to be performed. Through visits, surveys of the Department of Transportations (DOTs), and analysis of repair sites and previous damage-repair databases, the research seeks to enhance understanding of the most frequently damaged steel bridge types and the extent of damage in the region.
