Development of Engineering Design Procedures for Heat-Straightening Repair of Damaged Structural Steel in Bridges
Damage caused by vehicle impact, mishandling, or fire is a perennial problem associated with structural steel bridge members. The ability to repair bent structural steel members in place, often without even the need for temporary shoring, has generated interest in heat straightening from the engineering profession. However, engineers have had to rely primarily on their own judgment and the advice of experienced technicians in applying heat straightening techniques. Two key issues must be addressed: Do heat-straightening repair procedures exist which do not compromise the structural integrity of the steel. And if so, how can such repairs be engineered to ensure adequate safety of the repaired structure both during and after repair. The primary goal of this research project is to answer these two questions by experimentally evaluating various aspects of heat-straightening techniques and developing engineering analysis and design procedures for general applications.
