DESCRIPTION Two reinforced concrete beam spans, 66’-9” long total.

ORIENTAION Looking upstream, Abutment A is on the Left. Beams are numbered

from left to right looking at Abutment B.

MISCELLANEOUS (Items which are structure specific and cannot be included in another

section.)

Bridge Coordinates

N 37°32'10"

W 77°29'7"

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS (Special Equipment needed or

Special Inspections required such as: Fracture Critical, Underwater,

Fatigue Prone, Scour Critical, Moveable Bridge, Segmental

Concrete, Pin and Hanger, etc.)

An extension ladder was used to facilitate access to the

structure.

Some conduits on structure could potentially contain asbestos.

WORK DONE None.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS Load Rating

OVERALL CONDITION Poor

The condition rating of Poor is primarily resulting from the beam

condition (Photos 8, 16 and 19) and the deck drainage and

expansion joint condition which will allow the beams to

deteriorate more quickly.

RECOMMENDATIONS Repair

- Replace/modify rail to meet current standards

- Perform joint reconstruction at Abutment B

- Close utility with open junction box

- Repair delaminated/spalled areas of concrete on

superstructure and substructure

- Extend deck drains beyond bottom of beam

- Replace scoured material and provide scour protection

- Remove debris in stream bed reducing hydraulic opening

Monitor

- Inspections of the bridge should be established on a set

interval.

Load Rating

A load rating was completed for the bridge following the AASHTO method

outlined in The Manual for Bridge Evaluation. Based on this method, a

structure receives two different ratings in ASD, inventory and operating.

AASHTO defines inventory rating as: “The inventory rating level generally

corresponds to the customary design level of stresses but reflects the

existing bridge and material conditions with regard to deterioration and

loss of section. Load ratings based on the Inventory level allow

comparisons with the capacity for new structures and, therefore, result in

a live load, which can safely utilize an existing structure for an

indefinite period of time.”

AASHTO defines operating rating as: “Load ratings based on the operating

rating level generally describe the maximum possible live load to which

the structure may be subjected. Allowing unlimited numbers of vehicles to

use the bridge at Operating level may shorten the life of the bridge.”

An HS20 design truck was modeled for the rating with a total vehicular

weight of 36 tons.

Following AASHTO’s method the following results were found for an HS20

truck:

Load Rating Results (Tons)

Inventory Operating

Span 1 20 37

Span 2 20 37

The superstructure’s operating rating is greater than 36 tons, indicating

that the structure is capable of taking the applied load indefinitely on

an occasional basis. Continued deterioration can compromise the load

carrying capacity greatly.
