STRUCTURE EVALUATION SUMMARY

This concrete frame bridge is in good condition overall, and has only minor problems at this time. These include minor collision damage with exposed rebar on west side of the slab, and minor spalling with exposed rebar on the top of the southeast corner of the frame. Additional problems include a lack of reflective object markers at the bridge corners along the underpass roadway, a missing vertical clearance sign from the east underpass approach, and moderate debris accumulation along the curblines of the underpass roadway. It should also be noted that deterioration (with potholes) is developing in the pavement placed over the floor slab.

Corrective action should be taken as outlined in this report to prevent the possible development of more serious or costly problems in the future.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND ESTIMATED COSTS STRUCTURE NO. 5140-047P

A (Critical) - Structure is closed, in imminent danger of collapse, or presents a critical safety hazard.

B (Major) - Structure is seriously deficient or presents a safety hazard, but can remain in service at reduced loads or with frequent inspections.

C (Moderate) - Structure is deficient, functionally obsolete, or requires substantial repairs to prevent a serious deficiency or unsafe condition.

D (Minor) - Structure is generally in good condition. Preventative maintenance may be required.

E (Special) - Structure is under construction or reconstruction.

(*Includes typical contract costs for mobilization, traffic control, and design/construction engineering; but does not include detour bridges, work beyond the bridge limits, or work not listed above.

G = GOOD (CODES 7 - 9) F = FAIR (CODES 5 - 6) P = POOR (CODES 0 - 4)

CONDITION RATING CODE EQUIVALENTS FOR SUB-ELEMENTS

SERIOUS CONDITION - loss of section, deterioration, spalling, or scour have seriously affected primary structural components. Local failures are possible.

Fatigue cracks in steel or shear cracks in concrete may be present.

CRITICAL CONDITION - advanced deterioration of primary structural elements. Fatigue cracks in steel or shear cracks in concrete may be present or scour may have removed substructure support. Unless closely monitored it may be necessary to close the structure until corrective action can be taken.

“IMMINENT” FAILURE CONDITION - major deterioration or section loss present in critical structural components or obvious vertical or horizontal movement affecting structure stability. Structure is closed to traffic but corrective action may return structure to light service.

FAILED CONDITION - out of service; beyond corrective action.

CONDITION RATING CODES FOR ITEMS 58 - 62, 222, 223

NOT APPLICABLE

EXCELLENT CONDITION

VERY GOOD CONDITION - no problems noted.

GOOD CONDITION - some minor problems.

SATISFACTORY CONDITION - structural elements show some minor deterioration.

FAIR CONDITION - all primary structural elements are sound but may have minor section loss, cracking, spalling, or scour.

POOR CONDITION - advanced section loss, deterioration, spalling, or scour.
