Assessment Of Passive Fire Protection On Steel-Girder Bridges, Michael Davidson
Assessment Of Passive Fire Protection On Steel-Girder Bridges, Michael Davidson
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Bridges in the US are severely damaged or suffer collapse from fires at significant rates, even when compared to other hazards such as earthquakes. Fire-induced bridge collapses are perpetuated by the general lack of installed fire protection systems. Therefore, new materials and applications are needed to mitigate structural damage that can be caused to civil infrastructure by severe fires. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to further the development of new fire protection applications in transportation structures. Specifically, the investigation centers on the development of new applications in passive fire protection materials, within the context of shielding steel-girder bridges …
