Abstract:Several LTRC funded studies have
evaluated fatigue damage from heavy
truck loads (GVW 100,000 lb.) on
Louisiana Bridges.(1-4) The final
reports for these studies
recommended a field investigation to
verify the theoretical studies. LTRC
Final Report 418 entitled “Monitoring
System to Determine the Impact of
Sugarcane Truckloads on
Non-Interstate Bridges” contains a
partial list of bridges that are subject
to overloaded sugarcane trucks (GVW
1000,000 lb.). In this proposed
study, the researcher will select one
of the bridges listed in LTRC Final
Report 418, design, and install a
monitoring system to verify the results
predicted in the report and
recommend an implementation
measure.
