PROJECT APPROACH

ENVIRONMENTALThe WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff team has prepared environmental documents for projects of all sizes,

from Level 1 Categorical Exclusions (CEs) to Environmental Assessments (EAs) and FONSIs to Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) on some of the most challenging projects in the state. These include projects as diverse as single bridge replacement/rehabilitation to roadway rehabilitations to new location interstate construction, such as I-69.The professionals with WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff and Kaskaskia Engineering Group have already done some basic research about the environmental issues concerning the US 50 project, and expect that some level of Categorical Exclusion will be appropriate. The exact level will be determined based on the alternative treatments that are proposed following completion of the bridge inspection report. Based on a review of similar work to the I-64 bridges over the Wabash River, it is expected that debris removal under the existing structure will also require

construction of scour protection at the base of the piers. Besides any deck rehabilitation, the placement of sheet pile and granular material around the piers will most likely necessitate preparation of a Waters of the US report and submission of Section 404/401 permit applications.The team’s efforts will begin by conducting an early Red Flag Investigation (RFI) to identify potential issues and corresponding avoidance, minimization, or mitigation measures. Following acceptance and approval of the RFI, the level of environmental documentation will be finalized and the Early Coordination Packets (ECP) will be distributed to the appropriate Federal, state and local agencies. Once the 30-day comment period is complete, the team can proceed with preparation of the environmental document and submittal for INDOT review and approval. Timelines can be critical in the analysis of environmental impacts because of the length of time required for reviews, so it will be the goal of the environmental efforts to stay off the critical path.

BRIDGE INSPECTIONOur team will perform the Fracture Critical Inspection of US-50 Eastbound and Westbound bridges over

the Wabash River by following a well detailed Plan of Action. The inspection will require the use of an under bridge access vehicle to allow full access to the 2-girder system for the hands-on inspection to be conducted. The use of an under bridge access vehicle will require to the right lane of each structure to be closed to traffic. Since both structures are two lanes flowing in a single direction, closing one lane of traffic will require proper traffic control devices, but no additional personnel for flagging. A four to five-person team, consisting of at least two Professional Engineers and one Commercially Licensed Driver, should be able to perform the Fracture Critical Inspection on both bridges within 3 to 4 days, depending on weather, traffic, mobilization and demobilization of equipment, etc.

The main spans of both structures are comprised of a 2-girder system, which are non-redundant load path systems. Fracture Critical Members are steel members in tension or with a tension element, subject to tensile stress variations, whose failure would likely result in a partial or entire collapse of the structure. The FCM’s would include the non-redundant girders and the floorbeams if they are spaced greater than 14’-0”. Our inspectors will also look carefully at any and all problematic and fatigue prone details that include but are not limited to tri-axial constraint details, riveted connections, field welded stiffeners, attachments or repairs and cantilevered details that could result in out-of-plane bending. Nondestructive testing techniques will be utilized during this inspection as to not inflict any damage onto the structures. Visual and audible inspection techniques will be used, as well as, dye-penetrant testing to more accurately locate and evaluate cracks in the steel girders, welds, connection members, etc.

Our team has performed Fracture Critical Inspections on numerous structures throughout Indiana. One particular structure that is similar to the US-50 structures is Shelby County Bridge 73-00032 (NBI: 7300032). The 110’ structure is a Fracture Critical, 2-girder through truss that carries CR 500 North over the Little Blue River. The steel deck is supported by a stringer-floorbeam system that is connected into the two through girders. The floorbeams are spaced at 15’-3” and so are considered fracture critical. They also have welded cover plates attached to their bottom flanges, which is a fatigue prone detail 3.7 that corresponds to a Fatigue Category “E.” Most of connections are mechanically fastened using rivets, which is a fatigue prone detail 2.3 that has a Fatigue Category “D” rating.

PRACTICAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTABILITYOur experiences partnering with contractors on design-build pursuits has enhanced our design mindset with an in-depth understanding of constructability issues. Charles and the project staff understand that practical design has the most impact early in the design process. The team will weave practical design and constructability reviews from the beginning of the project development process and throughout the life of the project. Practical design is a shift in thinking to be utilized throughout the life of a project that we have adopted as the norm. We have learned to continually challenge the standard and ask if there is an equally safe solution that will ultimately give INDOT and the tax payers more for their money.Constructability reviews will also be incorporated into each deliverable. Charles will include experienced WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff staff, such as Kevin Hall, PE, from our construction inspection team who has over 33 years overseeing construction projects for INDOT, as well as the expertise of the local Vincennes District personnel to ensure that our approach is thorough, our plans are clear, and our design can be efficiently constructed.



NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

Our team will use GSI as a sub consultant which strives to be a leading service provider of non-destructive testing (NDT). GSI’s non-destructive testing of bridge decks uses infrared thermography (IRT) and ground penetrating radar (GPR) to scan non-visible locations. Traditional methods use manual sounding and collection techniques, which can be time consuming. They can also lead to cost overruns from inaccuracies due to human interpretation, and discrepancies from background noise. In addition, traditional methods most often require lane closures. With IRT and GPR, GSI certified technicians retrieve visual and thermal images and collect this data with an automated software program, from inside a vehicle traveling at highway speeds. This all occurs in significantly less time, and without the need for lane closures.

DATA COLLECTIONSpecified elements of the bridge will be scoped, utilizing the method required. This includes capturing data from a vehicle at highway speeds, maritime vessel or ground when accessible, using a vehicle mounted GPR, IRT, and/or a hand held IRT and HD visual camera. These approaches all take place without the need for traffic control. For maritime collection, two technicians will be on-site at all times with the assistance of a captain for operation of the maritime vessel. Conventional methods of sounding will be performed as part of the Quality Control (QC) process by GSI on portions of each bridge element during off peak times. Information collected will be used to verify data collection times and data is consistent with the NDT findings.

ANALYSISDuring the analysis phase, indications of delaminations, patches, spalls, deterioration and significant cracking will be identified, quantified and compiled in percentages based on total square foot area. The results will be comprehensive and assembled in a manner that can be easily incorporated into bridge inspection reports, work recommendations, and/or detailed scoping documents.The final phase of the project is to communicate the NDT findings and results in the report form. GSI will compile and present the data in a useful manner, to aid in future programming and asset management decisions by the client. The analysis, report development, and QC measures will take place at GSI facilities. For the deck, the report shall cover the area and depth of deck delamination, voids, patches, cracks and spalls. Results will be reported in native CAD formats.

BRIDGE REHABILITATIONAfter the completion of both the arms-length

bridge inspection, and the non-destructive testing, WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff will develop a proposal for the bridge rehabilitation. Depending on the results this may be as simple as deck patching and slope wall repair, or as complicated as a deck replacement and fracture critical element repairs. At this time we do not have a proposal for work to be done, but instead we can show the qualifications our team has to handle any structural repair that may be needed on the structure. Our team currently has several active bridge rehabilitation jobs active with INDOT, and several more that have been recently completed. Each of these jobs has required unique structural solutions that have saved INDOT both time on money.

» Deck Replacement: Our team has completed deck replacement jobs all across Indiana from Fort Wayne, LaPorte, Evansville, and Crawfordsville. These jobs have ranged from simply replacing the existing deck, to a full deck replacement where the concrete end spans have been removed and new continuous end spans added.

» Structural Analysis: The existing structure is composed of approach bridges, and a two-girder bridge spanning over the Wabash river. If required, the two-girder structure is going to require a more specialized model to properly calculate the forces being transmitted through each element (both cross frames and transverse stiffeners). Proper modeling of the structure will be crucial in order to design and corrections that the bridges require.

» Slope Walls: From our site visit, it is obvious that the slope walls are in need of repair. Several of our recent projects have required similar repairs including crack repair, and settlement

issues due to washout under the slopewalls. With our in house geotechnical group we will also be able to confirm all stability aspects of the slope walls after repairs are made.

DEVELOPMENT OF FRACTURE CRITICALDetails for potential repairs to the bridge:The WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff team has extensive prior experience with providing fracture critical repair details to bridges similar to the US 50 bridges. On the I-65 Approach bridges to the JFK bridge (now part of the ORB project) we were involved in producing details and drawings pertaining to the floor beam- stringer type structure. This experience can be directly applied to this project. Most of the details pertained to drilled holes to prevent propogation of fatigue cracks as shown in the graphics here . Most of the details developed were location specific and developed with constructability in mind. The lessons learned on the I-65 project included:1. The repair details have to be developed wre meant to be as

simple as possible. 2. Access to the repair locations has to be carefully considered.

This was particularly complicated with MOT aspects on a heavily traveled bridge.

3. As part of the repair details details such as blocking and temporary supports have to be developed to ensure constructability.

4. This project may require several unique special provisions to given the structure type.

Every project is unique and requires an approach and team specifically tailored to the needs of the project. With this project there will be a scoping phase for the inspection work, then a follow-up scoping phase for bridge repair. Charles will work with the INDOT PM during all of these phases to help ensure a scope and budget is developed that meet INDOT’s needs. With the information obtained from the meetings, Charles then will assign the appropriate teams to start work for each phase.

EXPERIENCE

I-65 OVER RIVERVIEW DRIVE REHABILITATION PROJECT (INDIANA APPROACH BRIDGE TO JFK BRIDGE)CLARK COUNTY, INDIANAWSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff provided engineering design services for the I-65 Bridge over Riverview Drive Rehabilitation project for INDOT/KYTC. The existing 7-span structure included 3 end spans that had a fracture critical steel stringer-floor beam detail. A major part of this project included fracture critical repair details to be developed in the end spans. WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff developed the complex structural steel repair details to ensure that the structural life of these spans was extended. Lane closures were limited during construction and innovative repair schemes had to be developed so that construction could be completed during lane closures. During finger-joint replacement construction, after the deck had been removed the structural steel stringer and floor beams were found to be in an advanced state of disrepair. WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff along with HMB provided emergency repair details so that the bridge could be open to traffic as soon as possible. The coordination between INDOT, KYTC, contractor, HMB and WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff was critical to ensure that the appropriate repairs were completed in a short time frame and safety was not compromised.



US 41 OVER UPPER PIGEON CREEK TRUSS BRIDGE REHABVANDERBURGH COUNTY, INDIANAWSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff is currently providing engineering services for the rehabilitation of a 200’ steel truss bridge in the Vincennes District of INDOT as part of an on-call project. The existing truss structure currently does not pass load rating requirements. Failure for the structure to achieve load rating is due to certain elements either failing, or other elements being undersized for the current truck traffic. This structure is currently being considered to become historic, but at this time it is neither “Select” nor “Non-Select”.Planned repair work on the structure includes a full deck replacement which will allow access to complete repair on the supporting steel superstructure. Floor beams at the abutments are currently undersized and will be replaced along with all stringers that have failed at the connection to the floor beams. After all steel elements have been repaired or replaced the steel truss will be cleaned to remove existing pack rust and painted.Additional elements that will be repaired include the roadway safety features, and the existing floodwall will be brought back to working condition.

SOUTH STREET & COLUMBIA STREET OVER WABASH RIVER (LESLIE BRIDGE)TIPPECANOE COUNTY, INDOT CRAWFORDSVILLE DISTRICT, INDIANAWSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff provided routine & special in-depth bridge inspection services for a segmental cast-in-place post-tensioned box girder (Spans 1-4) and post-tensioned concrete voided slab (Spans E-H) bridge. The routine inspection included visual inspection of all accessible superstructure bridge elements, as well as all above ground substructure elements, while paying particular attention to previously noted issues. The inspection required the use of an under bridge inspection unit to assess the outside of the superstructure. The interior of the box girders were also accessed during the inspection. WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff coordinated with railroad flagmen from CSX and NS to perform the inspection, as well as having a water rescue plan for the above water portions.The special in-depth inspection included all elements of the routine inspection, as well as crack mapping of the box girders and tendon bore scoping, which utilized Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to locate tendon ducts.

UNION COUNTY BRIDGE 81-00033 (NBI: 8100020)The 467’ structure is a Fracture Critical, 4-girder bridge with pin & hangers and trilateral constraint details that carries Dunlapsville Road over Brookville Lake. The steel girders have pin and hanger connections in the center span which complex details for inspection. The girders also have trilateral constraint details, also called Hoan details, requiring a special inspection using underbridge inspection equipment. USI has inspected this bridge several times at arm’s length to check all of the complex details.
