Critical Finding Report

CRITICAL FINDINGS REPORT

Bridge Number: CEPSWTOKTENKILL Date of Critical Finding: March 2011

Bridge Name: Tenkiller (Main) Spillway Bridge Time: 1000

State: Oklahoma County: Sequoyah Level of Critical Finding: Level 3

Description of Critical Finding

Describe the location, extent, and nature of the Critical Finding. Attach photos and sketches.

Nov 17, 2022 Critical Finding Update

The Tenkiller (Main) Spillway Bridge is a fracture critical bridge. A fracture critical bridge is a bridge containing a fracture critical member which is a steel member in tension, or with a tension element, whose failure would probably cause a portion of or the entire bridge to collapse. The main load carrying elements of the Tenkiller Bridge are two steel (welded, built-up) girders that are fracture critical members.

Defect #1: A crack (4” long surface crack with surface rust) has been noted in the November 2022 hands-on visual inspection on the bottom flange of the DS Girder, Span 4, between FB #3 & FB #4. The crack occurs adjacent to the end of a tapered cover plate. This crack was documented in the NDT Report of 2011 and in previous bridge inspection reports, but neither the extent (NDT) was documented nor was a repair method recommended. The crack is likely the result of a rolling flaw. The extent of the crack should be determined via non-destructive testing (NDT). Once the degree of the defect is assessed, a repair method (i.e. bolted splice plate) should be considered. In the meantime, a new load rating, fracture analysis, and fatigue analysis should be prepared. A load posting of 16 tons is implemented until a fracture analysis is completed.

Defect #2: Rolling flaw and delamination concentration in the bottom flange of the US Girder of Span 3, between FB #3 & FB #4. Although no cracking was visible during the Bridge Inspection, the NDT (Ultrasonic Examination) report, prepared during the NDT of 2011, revealed that the depth of these cracks range from 0.125 to 0.150”, which is about 20% of the bottom flange thickness. Although it was recommended to grind out as much as 1/8” of the flange to remove these flaws, no action has been taken since their discovery. A repair method (i.e. bolted splice plate) should be considered. In the meantime, a new load rating, fracture analysis, and fatigue analysis should be prepared so that (if needed) revised load posting can be implemented. A load posting of 16 tons is implemented until a fracture analysis is completed. The concentration of anomalies covers 24” of the girder bottom flange.

Defect #3: Rolling flaws (2” – 4” long each) in the bottom flange of the US Girder of Spans 8 and 9. No cracking was visible during the bridge inspection. The NDT (Ultrasonic Examination) report, prepared during the NDT of 2011, revealed that there is 0.63” of bottom flange thickness through the gouges (about 20% of thickness loss).

No action has been taken since the discovery of this section loss. A repair method (i.e. bolted splice plate) should be considered. In the meantime, a new load rating, fracture analysis, and fatigue analysis should be prepared so that (if needed) revised load posting can be implemented. A load posting of 16 tons is implemented until a fracture analysis is completed.

Defect #4: Missing weld (1” long) in the connection of the east end of the cover plate to the D/S girder on Span 3 and 4. The weld discontinuity has rust forming in the abrupt ending. This was not found during the 2011 NDT report. A repair method (i.e. grind and re-weld) should be considered. In the meantime, a new load rating, fracture analysis, and fatigue analysis should be prepared so that (if needed) revised load posting can be implemented or repair made. A load posting of 16 tons is implemented until a fracture analysis is completed.
