5 Reasons Why Parking Lot Striping In Hillsborough County FL Is Important Have you ever considered how much we rely on lot striping in Hillsborough County? It’s something most people take for granted. But as a property owner or manager, you can’t afford to overlook high-quality asphalt striping! Commercial properties are responsible for keeping people safe, and parking lot striping plays a bigger role in making that possible than most realize...https://lnkd.in/e-UzfcTp

I've been thinking a lot about the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge since I heard about it yesterday morning. First and foremost I am grieved by the loss of life caused by this incident, and I pray for all those who are grieving loved ones to receive comfort in this very difficult time. And second, I just can't help but think about this from the perspective of an engineer. About ten years ago I performed a risk analysis governed by AASHTO standards to assess the risk of this very occurrence to the Delaware Memorial Bridge. The analysis is complex and requires the input of many different factors such as the width of the channel, the shape of the channel (are there any curves?), the average number of vessels to pass under the bridge and their average size, their average speed, the amount of force required to cause catastrophic damage to that particular bridge pier, and whether the bridge piers are at all protected from collision. Oftentimes, the deciding factor on whether a certain bridge meets AASHTO standards of an acceptable level of risk is whether that bridge pier has an adequate amount of protection. For the Delaware Memorial Bridge, that meant the construction of eight large sacrificial cells (Ring of sheet piles filled with gravel and sand) to absorb the impact energy of any wayward vessels, which just recently completed construction. I can't help but wonder how much a similar protection system might have saved lives in this scenario in Baltimore. Many of the bridges throughout the country were designed many decades ago when cargo vessels were much smaller. As cargo vessels have grown in size exponentially with the innovation of TEUs (shipping containers) and the widening of canals, many of these bridges are being subjected to a higher level of risk than the designing engineers could have ever anticipated. I don't know that there are any easy answers on how to fix this problem on a large scale. Bridge protection systems are not cheap, and I know there are many other necessary safety upgrades needed to public infrastructure. But I do hope this incident serves as a wakeup call to DOTs and Bridge authorities throughout the country that bridge protection is crucial infrastructure that saves lives and major economic disruption and should be considered among the top funding priorities for those bridges that don't already have it. #FrancisScottKeyBridge #BridgeProtection https://lnkd.in/gT33MVZQ
