Dr. Ayman Okeil (PI) and Dr. Steve Cai (Co-PI) received a grant of $249,578 for his proposal entitled Evaluation of Continuity Detail for Precast Prestressed Girders. The projects involves designing, acquiring, and installing a long-term monitoring system on one of the bridges in the John James Audubon project crossing the Mississippi River. The system will employ internal (embedded) as well as external sensors to collect data related to creep, shrinkage, and temperature effects. Data from the monitoring system will be used to assess the performance of the continuity detail recommended by NCHRP 519. The data will be remotely collected for a two-year period duration of the project.
