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.
