| Title: | Fatigue Risks in the Connection of Sign Support Structures: Phase II | |
| PI: | Chris Foley Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Marquette University |
|
| Project: | Phase II shall involve both laboratory fatigue testing of specific connections as well as instrumentation of several key structures throughout the WisDOT inventory to thoroughly understand the demand side and the resistance side of the fatigue performance function. The results of the testing shall include retrofit mitigation strategies (including but not limited to the possible effects of ultrasonic impact treatment of the welded parts), risk assessment, and inspection cycle frequencies for each connection type. | |
