List of LTBP Program Protocol Worksheets

These protocol worksheets are a part of the Federal Highway Administration’s Long-Term Bridge Performance (LTBP) Program Protocols, Version 1 (Publication No.: FHWA-HRT-16-007). To ensure that LTBP Program data are collected in a consistent manner over the duration of the program, data collection protocols were developed for data collection, mining of bridge legacy data, visual inspection, sampling and testing of concrete materials, and nondestructive evaluation of bridges, as well as data management and storage.

The following worksheets, along with the appropriate protocols to which they refer can be used for collecting, recording, and storing data.  If specific protocol worksheets are desired, they can be found at the links provided below.  For more information, please contact Robert Zobel at robert.zobel@dot.gov or Yamayra Rodriguez at yamayra.rodriguez@dot.gov.
