Abstract:

This report presents the results of research activities conducted under Contract No. 519691-PIT 008 on “Sensing Technology for ; Damage Assessment of Sign Supports and Cantilever Poles” between the University of Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania Department of ; Transportation. ; The two primary goals of the contract aimed at developing a finite element model for the prediction of fatigue life of sign supports, and at ; developing a low-cost sensing technology to detect damage in sign support structures. ; The project has made use of test equipment and computer support at PITT’s Laboratory for Nondestructive Evaluation and Structural ; Health Monitoring studies and the Watkins-Haggart Structural Engineering Laboratory. ; Special acknowledgement goes to Jerry Bruck, technical advisor of the project for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, for his ; valuable guidance and comments, and for all the research materials that he provided.
