Inventory Data • Feature On* - The name of the roadway that the bridge carries.

Abbreviations:

LRD – Local road TN. RD. – Town Road IH – Interstate Highway USH – US Highway STH – State Trunk Highway CTH – County Trunk Highway

Example: STH 100 = State Trunk Highway 100.

• Feature Under* - Roadway or geographic feature that passes under the bridge. It could be a roadway, waterway,

railway, bike path, land, etc.

• Location* - A distance and a direction to the structure from another landmark commonly found on a State roadmap, usually another roadway. Example: 0.4M N JCT STH 100, (0.4 miles north of the junction of “Feature On” with State Trunk Highway 100).

• Maintainer* - The agency responsible for maintaining the structure.

• Sect/Twn/Rng* - Section, township and range. This is the structure location based on the public land subdivision system. There are 36 sections (each one square mile) in a township. Townships are 36-square-mile grids defined by Town lines that run east and west and Range lines that run north and south. Format: S02 T08N R21E = Section 02 of Township 08 North and Range 21 East.

• County* - The county in which the structure is located. If the structure is on a county line, then the lower numbered county is entered here, see the chart on page 3 for the assignment of county numbers.

• Municipality* - The municipality in which the structure is located.

• Inv Rating* - This rating establishes the load which can safely cross a bridge or culvert for an indefinite period of time. It represents the weight of an “average” truck that can safely cross the structure on a day to day basis. For references, see Chapters 4 and 5 of the AASHTO Manual for Condition Evaluation of Bridges and Chapter 3 of the Bridge Inspector’s Training Manual/90.

• Oper Rating* - This rating establishes the maximum load that can safely cross a bridge. It represents the weight of an “overloaded” truck that can safely cross the structure. Bridges are generally posted in Wisconsin based upon the Operating Rating. This is allowed per AASHTO Manual and Section 650.303(c) of the NBIS. References should be made to Chapters 4 and 5 of the AASHTO Manual for Condition Evaluation of Bridges and Chapter 3 of the Bridge Inspector’s Training Manual/90. (Once the bridge is posted for load, Interim Inspections must be performed to monitor the deterioration of the main load carrying elements and to monitor for any additional dead loads on the bridge.)

• Rdwy Width* - The distance between the inside faces of rails, curbs or parapets; in other words, the clear width of the traveled roadway.

• Total Length* - Length of the bridge in feet from paving notch to paving notch, or back to back of abutment backwalls.

• Deck Width* - The out-to-out width of the deck, including any width under the bridge parapets.

• Deck Area* - Area in square feet of the Total Length multiplied by the Deck Width.

• Existing Posting - The actual weight limit posting at the structure. This load restriction may be equal to or less than, but never more than, the most recently calculated posting. Posting must be in accordance with Section 349.16, Wisconsin Statutes. Weight limit signs shall comply with the standards established by the Department of Transportation. See Trans 212 for definition of posting, responsibility for posting and inspection of posted bridges. It is

Page 5 of 10

recommended that any new signs installed have the identification called for in the Highway and Transportation Laws and Rules, Section 86.19(5). Signs that show a vehicle silhouette are not to be used. The anti-vandalism sticker referenced in Section 86.192(1) should be affixed to the front of each sign.

• ADT On* - Count of average daily traffic over the bridge. This information may be found in the Wisconsin Highway Traffic Volume Data. This reference information is updated and published yearly by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. During the SI & A Field Review, the inspector should verify that the ADT counts are relatively reasonable. If a gross error is evident, the inspector should notify the District Program Manager.

• ADT Under* - Count of average daily traffic under the bridge. This information may be found in the Wisconsin Highway Traffic Volume Data. This reference information is updated and published yearly by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. During the SI & A Field Review, the inspector should verify that the ADT counts are relatively reasonable. If a gross error is evident the inspector should notify the District Program Manager.

• Year* – The year traffic counts were recorded, as found in the Wisconsin Highway Traffic Volume Data. This information is updated and published yearly by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.

Inspection Type • Routine Visual – Regularly scheduled inspections performed as a minimum once every 24 months. A check off box

is used to indicate whether this type of inspection is currently being performed.

• Fracture Critical – An arm-length, close-up inspection of fracture critical elements, performed as a minimum once every 72 months for select structures A check off box is used to indicate whether this type of inspection is currently being performed.

• In-Depth – An arm-length, close-up inspection of one or more structural elements, performed as a minimum once every 72 months for select structures. A check off box is used to indicate whether this type of inspection is currently being performed.

• UW Dive – An inspection where divers are used to access the condition of underwater substructure components, performed, at a minimum, once every 60 months. A check off box is used to indicate whether this type of inspection is currently being performed.

• UW Surv. – An inspection used to establish the streambed profile in the vicinity of the bridge, performed, at a minimum, once every 24 months. A check off box is used to indicate whether this type of inspection is currently being performed.

• UW Probe/Visual – An inspection where probing or visual means above the water surface are used to access the condition of underwater substructure components, performed, at a minimum, once every 24 months. A check off box is used to indicate whether this type of inspection is currently being performed.

• Movable* - Used for a special type of bridge that moves to accommodate for trains, boats, etc, performed, at a minimum, once every 12 months.

• Initial – The first inspection a structure receives after its initial construction, or after major rehabilitation or widenings have taken place. A check off box is used to indicate whether this type of inspection is currently being performed.

• Damage – Unscheduled inspection used to access bridge damage caused by the environment or human factors. A check off box is used to indicate whether this type of inspection is currently being performed.

• Interim – Unscheduled inspection used for select structures that have suspect details requiring more frequent inspections, performed, at a minimum, once every 12 months. A check off box is used to indicate whether this type of inspection is currently being performed.

• Load Posted – Used on previously posted structures, as posted structures require a more frequent inspection cycle. A check off box is used to indicate whether this type of inspection is currently being performed.

• SI & A Field Review – Used to verify the information on the Structure Inventory and Appraisal Field Report.

Page 6 of 10

• Last Insp.* – Date of the last inspection of the type indicated.

• Frequency* – Frequency in months for which the type of inspection indicated is to be performed.

• Rec. Frequency – Recommended inspection frequency in months for the type indicated. This will be used if significant distress on the bridge warrants more frequent inspections.

• Item No. Needing Change – Indicate the item number(s) as designated by the FHWA Recording and Coding Guide for the Structure Inventory and Appraisal of the Nation’s Bridges that was changed during the SI & A Field Review.

Load Rating Information • Overburden - This is the material on top of the structural supporting system. Overburden typically refers to asphalt or

concrete overlays on bridges or fill over a culvert, but may also include wood, gravel, dirt or a combination of these materials. The depth of material determines the amount of additional dead load on the structure, which reduces the amount of live load the bridge or culvert can carry. Due to the negative effect of overburden on the live load capacity of a bridge/culvert, this entry needs to be monitored closely and maintained as up-to-date as possible.

• Section Loss - The percent of the cross-sectional area of any element that has deteriorated away. It only applies to the main load carrying members. If the inspector puts a value in the “Section Loss %” space pertaining to a steel member, then the Section Loss Smart Flag (Element 363) should be added to the form also.

• File Meas. (in.) – The thickness of overburden over the bridge deck, slab, or culvert, measured during previous inspections.

• File Meas. % - The maximum percentage of section loss on any given primary load carrying element measured during previous inspections.

• File Insp. Date – The date the last overburden thickness or section loss measurement was recorded.

• Insp. Meas. (in.) – The thickness of overburden over the bridge deck, slab, or culvert, measured during the current inspection.

• Insp. Meas. % - The maximum percentage of section loss on any given primary load carrying element measured during the current inspections

• Type – The type of overburden, such as a bituminous overlay on a deck, or soil fill over a culvert.

• Describe – Describe where the measured section loss is occurring, such as “girder bottom flange”, or “at traffic impact location”. Further describe in the structure notes if additional room is needed.

• Should structure be re-rated for load carrying capacity? – A “yes” or “no” question to be answered “yes” whenever additional overburden has been placed on the structure since the last inspection, when section loss has reduced the strength of a member, or when the bridge has been strengthened. Checking this box “yes” alerts the bridge owner that bridge needs to be evaluated. Situations which would warrant a re-rating include section loss, damage, additional overburden placed since the last inspection, structural repairs, etc.

• Reason – Briefly state reason for re-rating load carrying capacity.

• Date Last Rated – The date the structure was last rated. Expansion Joints • Location* – The location of the measured expansion joint, such as “east abutment” or “pier 2”.

• Type* – The type of expansion joint, such as “finger plate” or “strip seal”.

• Temp (file) – The temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at which the expansion joint opening was measured during the

last inspection.

Page 7 of 10

• Temp (new) – The temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at which the expansion joint opening was measured for the

current inspection.

• File Insp. Date* – The date the expansion joint opening measurement was recorded.

• File Insp. (in)* – The expansion joint opening measured during previous inspections.

• New Insp. (in) – The expansion joint opening measured during the current inspection. Signing Condition • Bridge Markers – “Tiger Boards”, yellow signs with diagonal black stripes located at the ends of the bridge rails. They

are used to delineate the end of a bridge as a warning to approaching drivers.

• Narrow Bridge – Sign used when the bridge horizontal clearance of a two-way road is between 16-feet to 24-feet, and when the bridge horizontal clearance is less than the approach roadway.

• One Lane Road – Sign used when the bridge horizontal clearance of a two-way road is less than 16-feet.

• Vertical Clearance – Sign used when the vertical clearance of the traveled way under the bridge or under the overhead members (i.e., overhead truss bridges) is less than 12-inches above the maximum statutory vehicle height. The clearance in feet and inches is always printed on this sign.

• Weight Limit – Sign used to indicate a weight restriction on the bridge when it has a structural capacity less than the statutory minimum. The allowable weight is always printed on this sign.

• Other (Addl. Sign) – Other posted signs related to the bridge, such as “Watch for Ice on Bridge” or “Bridge Out”.

• File* – The signing condition designation given during previous inspections.

• Y/N/NA – Answer “Y” for Yes (sign in good condition and readily visible), “N” for No (sign in poor condition or not readily visible), and “NA” Not Applicable for any marker types.

• Comments – For signs not meeting standards, provide a short comment explaining why. Clearances • Min. Vertical Clearance Under (Cardinal) – Minimum vertical clearance between the northbound or eastbound

roadway travel lanes or railroad rail underpass and the underside of a girder, beam, or flat slab. Measurements should be taken to the bottom of the lowest bolt or rivet on steel structures (if this coincides with the minimum vertical clearance). This measurement also refers to the minimum vertical clearance over waterways.

• Min. Vertical Clearance Under (Non-Cardinal) – Minimum vertical clearance between the southbound or westbound roadway travel lanes or railroad rail underpass and the underside of a girder, beam, or flat slab. Measurements should be taken to the bottom of the lowest bolt or rivet on steel structures (if this coincides with the minimum vertical clearance). This measurement does not need to be taken over waterways, since it should already be measured for the cardinal direction.

• Min. Vertical Clearance On - Minimum vertical clearance between the deck surface and the lowest point of any overhead components of the structure. This applies to structures such as through-truss bridges.

• File Meas. (ft)* – The clearance measured during previous inspections.

• File Date* – The date the last clearance measurement was recorded.

• New Meas. (ft) – The clearance measured during the current inspection.

Page 8 of 10

Structure Type • Material* – The bridge superstructure material:

• Configuration* – The bridge superstructure configuration:

• # of Spans* – The number of spans of a particular length.

• Overall Length* – The span length in feet. Construction/Rehabilitation History • Year* – The year construction/rehabilitation work was performed.

• Work Performed* – A description of construction and rehabilitation work. This item should be filled out by the

inspector if major work had been performed since the last inspection. This information may be found in the owner’s or maintaining agency’s bridge file. Construction implies the original construction or deck replacements.

APPENDIX D: STATE MEASUREMENT CONVENTIONS

SECTION D.1 GIRDER MEASUREMENT CONVENTIONS

The “number of girders” for a bridge as carried in the management database can be determined using one of the following examples. The total quantity recorded is equal to the girder length multiplied by the number of girders.

Structure Inspection Manual Part 2 – Bridges Appendix D: State Measurement Conventions

March 2011 2-A-54

SECTION D.2 TRUSS MEASUREMENT CONVENTIONS

All measurements of a truss are along the horizontal projection, including the deterioration measurements. The total length of the above truss is 50 feet, while the recorded length of the deteriorated part of the truss is equal to 8 feet (5 feet + 3 feet).

The total quantity for the truss element for the above example bridge is 100 feet (50 * 2, since there is a truss on each side of the bridge).

The convention used for spandrel arches is similar to that used for trusses.

Structure Inspection Manual Part 2 – Bridges Appendix D: State Measurement Conventions

March 2011 2-A-55

SECTION D.3 DECK MEASUREMENT CONVENTIONS

The unit for deck or slab elements is “square feet”. Thus, when a bridge has one deck/slab type, the quantity is the deck area. However, when a bridge has two different types of deck/slab elements (See the example below with Elements 113 and 39), the inspector should record a quantity equal to the deck area for each deck type element. The entire quantity for each deck or slab element is assigned to a single Condition State.

Element No. Description Quantity Unit

113 Concrete Deck (AC) 6,000 SF

39 Concrete Slab (AC) 4,000 SF
