| Title: | Evaluation of Fiberglass Wrapped Concrete Bridge Columns | |
| PI: | Dante Fratta Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Wisconsin-Madison |
|
| Project: | The main purpose of this project is to assess the effectiveness of the fiberglass wrapping in reducing the corrosion degradation rate of the columns. To evaluate the effectiveness of the technique, the research team will use both non-destructive and destructive test methods. The results of the study will provide WisDOT officials with the data necessary to make informed decisions concerning the need for the continuation of the current maintenance procedures or to develop new or modified maintenance strategies for these types of columns. | |
