STRUCTURE EVALUATION SUMMARY

This corrugated, galvanized steel arch culvert is in fair to poor condition overall. The culvert exhibits rusting of the barrel along the top of the foundations, with the steel completely rusted through in places. There is also leakage and rust stains from several bolt locations. The previously noted distortion of the barrel appears to have increased slightly;

this condition will continue to be monitored during future inspection cycles; and stabilization measures or replacement of the culvert may be recommended at some point.

Site-related problems noted include an accumulation of flood debris and fallen trees in the downstream channel, and trees growing above and adjacent to the structure.

The culvert is currently posted for 18 tons at both approaches. It should be noted that the present load rating is sufficient for legal loads, and the bridge does not require posting. However, the bridge may continue to be posted at the discretion of the Park.

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. 5230-003P

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

B (Major) - Structure exhibits severe deterioration, presents a safety hazard, or is designated a high priority due to age and/or condition.

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. Estimates are approximate and are for preliminary planning purposes only; they should not be used as a complete or final engineers estimate.)

REMARKS: Cost estimates assume recommended actions will be combined with similar work being performed on other structures.

Distortion of culvert barrel will continue to be monitored.

Consideration should be given to installing a bridge rail and approach railing system meeting current safety standards.

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

N

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.

3 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.

2 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.

1 “IMMINENT” FAILURE CONDITION - major deterioration or sec ion 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.

0 FAILED CONDITION - out of service; beyond corrective action.
