In Service Performance of Pipe to Structure Connections
PI Payal Kotecha
Dr. Kotecha was awarded a research grant for $200,000 from the Florida Department of Transportation to investigate pipe-to-structure connections.
This two-years project will investigate the performance of installed resilient connectors and typical brick and mortar connections. This will include field inspections and documentation within District 7 for resilient connectors. Additional investigations will also be conducted in other locations for structures with brick-and-mortar connections. These results will further evaluate the potential of statewide deployment of resilient connectors.
