Process description: Data collection principle: A bridge superstructure is defined as that portion of a bridge structure that receives and supports traffic loads (distributed by the bridge deck) and inturn transfers these loads to the bridge substructure:including the bridge bearings. A steel superstructure can consist of girders (single or multi-cell box): floorbeams and stringers (concrete encased, rolled, and welded or bolted plates), cross frames and diaphragms. In addition, truss structures may have built-up sections for top and bottom chords, vertical and diagonal members, and lateral and sway frame bracings. Depending on the site conditions: access to the superstructure members will involve the use ofladder(s), access platform(s) and or a snooper. Steel members shall be inspected primarily for paint peeling, pitting, corrosion (See Protocol FLD-DC-VI-0 02), section loss (See Protocol FLD- DC-VI-003): and cracking (future protocol). In particular, locations of high stress zones shall be thoroughly inspected. Also, any damages from vehicle or vessel strikes shall be noted. The bearings for the superstructure will be inspected according to the relevant protocol: FLD-DC-VI-004, FLD-DC-.V1-005, or FLD-DC-VI-006. |
