Assessment Strategies of Fire Damaged Bridges
Objective: The objective of this research is to develop simple tools to evaluate the effects of fire damage on the structural properties and load capacity of steel bridge elements. This is very specialized work. Based on discussions with PennDOT and Purdue University (Purdue) and an existing relationship between PennDOT, Pitt and Purdue, several tasks involved in this project are to be subcontracted to Purdue University.

Market Analysis of Construction Materials with Recommendations for the Future of the Industry
2018-10-05
Objective: The objective of this work is to perform a market analysis and forecast for key commodities used in the highway and bridge construction industries including oil/asphalt, cement/concrete, steel, aggregates, and chemicals. This forecast will provide a basis for recommendations on future commodity use, new technologies, environmental issues, and construction practices and/or substitution commodities for PennDOT to consider for future development.
