Implementation of Heat-Straightening Repairs for Louisiana Bridges
This project was a joint effort between LSU, the Bridge Maintenance Division and District 7. The LSU team analyzed the damage, designed the repair, worked with DOTD in conducting the repair, and documented the project. The Bridge Maintenance Division identified the bridge, assisted with the damage inspection and the conduct of the repair. District 7 assisted with the inspection, provided traffic control and assisted with the rapair. The repair was conducted over a two-week interval in August 1998. The bridge is a two-lane structure on a Parish road crossing I-10 just east of Lake Charles near mile marker 37 on the interstate. The damaged bridge is a non-composite deck-stringer superstructure. The overpass is approximately 33 ft. wide; has four spans supported by column bents; has five simply supported steel stringers supporting the deck; and the spans across each of the east and west bound lanes of the interstate are 75 ft. The accident occurred when over-height equipment on a flatbed tract-trailer impacted the fascia beam while traveling in the right, east bound lane.
