| Project: | The primary objective of this study is to develop an easy-to-use but comprehensive document that will include case histories of previous experiences in Wisconsin and elsewhere for bridge problems when emergency responses were required to mitigate them. A minimum of ten structures that will encompass the breadth of bridge types and materials within Wisconsin will be selected and included in the study, although efforts will be made to collect as many Wisconsin case histories as possible. The selected caseswill include the most common damage and failure types within the state. An additional five to ten structures outside of Wisconsin will be selected and included in the study, if relevant and useful case histories are discovered during the period of this project. The document will be prepared in an electronic reference format and will include elements organized in a narrative with hyperlinks to the supporting documentation. Although only limited number of case histories will be documented in this study, the research staff will develop an interactive question and answer feature that can offer recommended actions based on the available information and past experiences for similar situations. However, the document will be prepared with the goal that it can be expanded easily to include additional case histories in the future. This can, in turn, enhance the knowledge base for the interactive question and answer feature to yield more reliable recommendations. |
