About VDOT
VDOT maintains the 3rd largest state-owned road system in the U.S.
57,867 miles of sate maintained roadway system
20,918 Structures (Bridges and Large Culverts)- 19,390 Maintained by VDOT- 1,528 Maintained by Localities
9 Districts and one Central Office

Chain of Events Since the I-35W Bridge collapse in Minnesota
Worked with FHWA to identify all bridges with similar design type to the I-35W Bridge (Deck Truss Type)– Total of 11 bridges were identified
Both FHWA and VDOT reviewed the latest inspection reports of the 11 bridges and did not find anything out of the ordinary– All bridges were inspected within the last 2 years of the review date– Some were inspected as early as May 2007
Assigned the inspections of all 11 bridges to the 3 engineering consulting firms– Inspection completed September 30, 2007

Chain of Events Since the I-35W Bridge collapse in Minnesota
Identified all FCM bridges and reviewed the last inspection reports (305 total)
Re-inspected 36 of the 305 FCM structures for QA measures
Restricted permit vehicles from crossing truss bridges
Identified 113 truss bridges with gusset plates
Developed standard procedure for analyzing gusset plates in accordance with FHWA latest guidelines
Completed the load rating for 106 of the 113 truss bridges

VDOT’s Approach to Load Rating Gusset Plates
VDOT decided to follow FHWA - LFR Guidelines
VDOT decided to develop examples in MathCAD
Analyze up to 5 members at a joint
Analyze gusset plates and member ends
Separate MathCAD sheet for splice plate
