Introduction

This guide provides a description of elements that are used in inspections conducted by or for the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). This guide is not intended to serve as a complete reference for bridge inspections. The intent is to provide guidance for inspectors in selecting ele-ments and assigning quantities to condition states for these elements.

In general, all girders, trusses, arches, cables, floor beams, stringers, abutments, piers, pin and hangers, culverts, joints, bearings, railings, decks, and slabs are identified as elements. The element listing includes a description, a commentary, condition state language, and a unit of measurement for each element. The element descriptions consider material compo-sition. Protective systems for these elements are generally separate elements, but are assigned to specific elements.

12

National Bridge Elements (NBEs)

The National Bridge Elements represent the primary struc-tural components of bridges necessary to determine the over-all safety of the primary load carrying members. The NBEs are a refinement of the deck, superstructure, substructure, and culvert condition ratings defined in the Federal Highway Administration’s Recording and Coding Guide for the Struc-ture Inventory and Appraisal of the Nation’s Bridges. Addi-tional NBEs are designed to remain consistent from agency to agency across the country in order to facilitate and stand-ardize the capture of bridge elements at the national level. In order to capture the diversity of new element design many elements in this category have an ‘Other’ type element de-fined.

Child Elements

FDOT uses child elements to identify specific elements that it wishes to track because the performance differs from the parent element. For example, reinforced concrete decks on precast deck panels is a child of the reinforced concrete deck element. The problems FDOT has experienced with these justifies tracking these separately from reinforced concrete decks. However, decks with precast deck panels will be rolled up with the reinforced concrete decks when reporting to the FHWA.

13

Bridge Management Elements (BMEs)

Bridge Management Elements include components of bridg-es such as joints, wearing surfaces, protective coating sys-tems and deck/slab protection systems that are used for bridge management purposes, and are not used for national policy making.

Agency Defined Elements (ADEs)

FDOT has defined certain elements to meet FDOT’s needs. These have no ties to NBEs or BMEs.

Secondary Members

The condition states of elements should not be affected by deficiencies of secondary members however deficiencies to secondary members should be noted in the inspection notes section for those elements relating to the secondary mem-bers.

14

Numbering of Elements

The elements are grouped into a logical numbering system: 1-99 are reserved for NBE deck elements, 100-199 for NBE superstructure elements, 200-299 for NBE substructure ele-ments, 300-399 for miscellaneous elements and joints, 8001–8999 for FDOT defined elements and 501-599 for protective coatings and wearing surface elements. FDOT elements that were previously defined now are in the format 8XXX where XXX represents the old number. FDOT elements may be in any category. The movable bridge elements 8563 - Access Ladders & Platforms, 8572 - Conduit& Junction Boxes and 8580 - Navigational Light System may be used for non-movable bridges. These are listed in multiple places in this field guide.

Deck and Slab Inspection

The condition state inspection for decks and slabs is different from CoRe element inspection. Instead of placing the entire deck or slab in one condition state, now the deck and slab is broken down by unit of measure just like other elements.

NBEs, MBEs and ADEs from an Inspector’s Viewpoint

Whether an element is an NBE, MBE or ADE makes no dif-ference from an inspector’s viewpoint, these distinctions simply define how the results of a condition state inspection are used at a national level.

15

Conventions

Girder Quantities

The following examples demonstrate the FDOT convention for numbering girders:

3 GIRDERS

1 GIRDER

2 GIRDERS3 GIRDERS

17

2 GIRDERS

1 GIRDER

18

Truss and Open Spandrel Arch Quantities

All measurements of a truss and an arch are along the hori-zontal projection. This convention includes the quantities for deterioration measurements. For the following example, the total length of the truss is 50’ and the total quantity of the condition state for the deterioration is 8’ (5’ + 3’):Mast Arm Numbering

One structure number will be assigned to all mast arms at an intersection or location. The quantities for the vertical mem-bers, horizontal members and foundations will be the total number of each element at a particular intersection.

19

Mast Arm Component Numbering System - below is a guideline for assigning numbers to the vertical and horizontal mast arm members. Route hierarchy is as assigned for NBI Item 5B.

20

Anchor Bolt Numbering System - On the next two pages are guidelines for numbering anchor bolts for overhead sign structures, high mast light poles and mast arm traffic signals.

21 22

Condition States and DefectsElement defects are used when the condition state leaves condition state 1 and essentially acts to breakdown the overall element condi-tion into one or more specific observed problems. If two defects occur at the same location the defect in the worst condition state will be used. If the two defects are at the same location with the same condition state the refer to the Department’s guide for guid-ance on selecting the appropriate defect.

Specific guidance is not provided for condition state 4 for most elements. Condition State 4 is for severe conditions that are beyond the specific defects defined for states 1 through 3. Elements with a portion o all of the quantity in state 4 may often have load capacity implications warranting a structural review. Structural reviews may include a review of the field inspection notes and photographs, re-view of as-built plans or analysis as deemed appropriate to evaluate the performance of the element.

Guidance on Cracking for Reinforced Concrete, Pre-stressed Concrete and Wearing SurfacesThe cracking defects for reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete and wearing surfaces categorize cracks as minor, moderate and wide. What constitutes a minor, moderate or a wide crack depends on whether the element is in an aggres-sive or non-aggressive environment.

An aggressive environment would be the portion of a struc-ture in or near salt or brackish water, and the portions of the structure in the splash zone. This would include the under-sides of decks or slabs with low clearances over salt or brackish water. There may be special cases where additional areas of the bridge may be considered to be in an aggressive environment similar to a marine environment.

23

Aggressive environments also include:• Areas where people fishing from a bridge may dump

containers with salt or brackish water• Bridges near boat ramps where salt or brackish water

draining from boats may fall on bridges after they have been removed from the water

• Areas subject to spray from jet skis.• In northern Florida there has been a move to place salt

after winter storms. If this becomes a more common occurrence, consideration may be given to including these with parts of the bridge in a marine environment.

Otherwise, the environment should be deemed non-aggressive.

Reinforced Concrete and Wearing Surface Cracks in a non-aggressive environment.• Insignificant or narrow cracks – less than 1/16” (0.06)• Moderate width cracks – 1/16” to 3/16” cracks (0.06 to

0.19)• Wide cracks – greater than 3/16” cracks (0.19)Reinforced Concrete and Wearing Surface Cracks in an ag-gressive environment would remain as recommended in the AASHTO National Bridge Element Manual.• Insignificant or narrow cracks – less than 0.012 inches• Moderate width cracks – 0.012 to 0.05 inches• Wide cracks greater than 0.05 inchesPrestressed Concrete Cracks will remain as recommended in the AASHTO National Bridge Element Manual.• Insignificant or narrow cracks – less than 0.004 inches• Moderate width cracks – 0.004 to 0.010 inches• Wide cracks greater than 0.010 inches

24

Pattern (Map) Cracking

The AASHTO Manual for Element Inspection gives no guidance on what constitutes moderate or heavy cracking. If the widths of the pattern cracks meet the definition of mod-erate or wide cracks, then the crack width shall be used to determine the condition state. When the crack width is smaller than moderate, then if the pattern spacing is greater than 12 inches, use condition state 1. If the pattern spacing is 6 to 12 inches, this is moderate and use condition state 2. If the spacing less than 6 inches this is heavy and use condi-tion state 3.

Predominant Defect GuidanceWhen multiple defects in the same condition state exist at the same location, use the following for guidance in select-ing the defect to code. Other defects should be mentioned in the inspection notes.
