Supplementary Notes Project conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, and the Texas Department of Transportation 16. Abstract Two monitoring systems for bridges were evaluated for use by the Texas Department of Transportation. The first system was designed to increase the quantitative information obtained during a routine inspection of a steel bridge. The miniature, battery-powered data acquisition system selected for study has the ability to record a single channel of strain data and use a rainflow counting algorithm to evaluate the raw data. This system was considered to be particularly useful for evaluating fracture critical bridges. The second system provided long-term monitoring of bridge displacements using global positioning systems (GPS).

  • Chapter 10 Study Guide and Case Studies: Wildfires
    Chapter 10 Study Guide Chapter 10 Study Guide and Case Studies: Wildfires Key Concepts • Fire is the rapid combination of oxygen with organic material in a reaction that produces flames, heat and light. • Fire and respiration can be understood as the reverse process of photosynthesis where cellulose and oxygen are used to produce water and carbon dioxide. • The most important natural cause of wildfires is a lightning strike. Spontaneous combustion (e.g. in a heating pile of composting organic material) can also cause a fire. • Only 15% of wildfires have a natural cause, while the other 85% are caused by humans. • Human causes include arson but also unintended ignition through a car’s failing catalytic converter, improperly discarded cigarette butts, unattended camp fires, sparks from mechanical equipment and target shooting. Fires started for waste removal and fire suppression cause get out of control and grow into major wildfire. • The four stages of fire are preheating phase, pyrolysis, flaming combustion and glowing combustion. • Dry weather with very low relative humidity (e.g. less than 20%) removes water from living and dead plant material, thereby shortening stage 1 of a fire. Removal of water also accelerates the heating. • Chemically, combustion is a type of oxidation (oxygen is used to produce a new compound) • Since hot air rises, fires typically spread uphill faster than downhill, unless pushed by winds. • The fire triangle consists of fuel, oxygen and heat. Firefighters try to remove at least one leg of the triangle. For example water sprayed on a fire takes up its heat. A fire extinguisher cuts off the oxygen supply.
