Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Transportation Research Board workshop on Underwater Inspection Programs revealed surprising agreement among the representatives of federal and state agencies and underwater inspection professionals. The importance of complying with the federal inspection standards to examine all bridges in water at least every five years was emphasized. Advantages of effective underwater inspection programs include cost effectiveness, liability protection, and identification of factors contributing to bridge deterioration. Establishing a program requires an accurate inventory of bridges with underwater elements, a baseline inspection of all structures, and a prioritizing system for the bridge inspection sequence.

Download or read book Prioritizing Bridge Structures for Underwater Inspections written by Daniel D. McGeehan and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade, there has been increasing national concern about the adequacy of underwater inspection of bridge substructures. A number of factors have contributed to this concern, in particular the collapse of several major spans, some of which led to loss of life. Substructure failures have been the cause of bridge collapses and the subject of at least five National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) highway bridge investigations. In at least four instances, deficiencies in the substructure could have been identified by underwater inspection. During this project, 425 bridges in Virginia were identified as requiring underwater inspection. It was concluded that assessments of the type and extent of damage to structures below the waterline prior to inspection are highly inaccurate. Prioritizing bridges for inspections must be based on an established history of underwater inspections. Trends in the deterioration of underwater structures indicate several factors to be considered in developing a priority system for an underwater inspection program. These trends are described, and time intervals for the inspection of bridges with a previous inspection history are suggested.

Download or read book Bridge Inspection Practices written by George Hearn and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2007 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis reports bridge inspection practices in the United States and selected foreign countries. The synthesis is a collection of information on formal inspection practices of departments of transportation (DOTs). These are primarily visual inspections and they provide data to bridge registries and databases. For U.S. inspection practices, this synthesis reports on inspection personnel, inspection types, and inspection quality control and quality assurance. Staff titles and functions in inspection programs are reported, together with qualifications and training of personnel, formation of inspection teams, and assignment of teams to bridges. Inspection types are described in terms of their scope, methods, and intervals. Quality control and quality assurance programs are reviewed in terms of the procedures employed, staff involved, quality measurements obtained, and the use of quality findings in DOT inspection programs. Foreign practices are presented in the same organization of inspection personnel, types, and quality programs. Comparisons of U.S. and foreign inspection practices are included. Information was obtained from a questionnaire sent to U.S. state transportation departments, similar questionnaires modified individually for transportation agencies in selected foreign countries, and formal documents used by transportation departments and agencies. These documents primarily included bridge inspection manuals, inspection training manuals, and technical memoranda, but also included blank forms for inspections, DOTs job descriptions for inspectors, and descriptions of inspection training courses. Overall, this synthesis includes information from forty U.S. state transportation departments and from roads agencies in eight foreign nations (Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, and the United Kingdom). The synthesis also includes, in an appendix, information from a few provincial and municipal transport agencies in Canada.
