INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX NBIS Underrec.: Yes Description: TUTORIAL

Instructions: In the background (gray-scale) is a typical Volume II and Volume III BRAGI page. See the next page (ii) for a template: the typical Volume II and Volume III BRAGI format illustrated with labels (“a”, “b”, “c”, etc.) for all of the different data positions. The pages following that template (iii to xx) provide instructions and explanations for each of the different area labels (“a”, “b”, “c”, etc.).

Item Number: a Item Name:






INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: This is the Item Number. It may be a number, a letter, or a combination of numbers

and letters.

Instructions: For composite items (several interrelated items with the same number but different letter suffixes) there will often be a “cover page” listing the number by itself without any letter suffix. The purpose of the “cover page” is to introduce the reader to that particular item series (number only); specific instructions on the individual component items of that series (number + letter) are given on additional pages and labeled accordingly.

Notes:

Item Number: Item Name: b






INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: This is the Item Name. Typically, it will correspond to the labeling of the item in the

database.

Instructions: Where the item appears in different locations in the database with slightly different nomenclatures, the most prevalent may be used here, or possibly a variation may be listed here (even if it doesn’t exactly match the database nomenclature) for the sake of clarity in presenting the item. Because of space limitations, abbreviations will often be used to allow the Item Name to fit in location “b” as shown. These abbreviations do not follow any set pattern, but vary as required by considerations for clarity and available space. The full item name will be given in the Item Description in location “o”; the reader should consult this description if any of the abbreviations in “b” are not immediately obvious.

Notes:

Main Tab/Sub Tab: c Misc. Fields:





INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: This is the Item Location in the database. It is described by specifying the Main Tab

(from the top row of tabs) followed by a slash and then the Sub Tab (from the bottom row of tabs associated with the chosen Main Tab). The item can be found on the database Main Tab/Sub Tab page as listed here.

Instructions: Because an item can appear in numerous locations in the database, multiple Main Tab/Sub Tab pages can be specified here (up to four). For cases where more than four locations occur, see the following page for an additional formatting option. Occasionally, a Main Tab/Sub Tab will be repeated (e.g., of four locations listed, three are unique and one is a repeat). Typically, this is done in order to present additional information about Miscellaneous Fields associated with that Main Tab/Sub Tab location. If there are multiple Miscellaneous Fields (e.g., check boxes, comment boxes, date boxes) pertaining to that Main Tab/Sub Tab location, they might not all fit in a single Misc. Fields line (position “d”). Therefore, the Miscellaneous Fields will be broken up into multiple lines and the Main Tab/Sub Tab location will be repeated so that it is clear which Miscellaneous Field is associated with which location. Generally, this does not imply that the item itself has multiple appearances on a given Main Tab/Sub Tab page. Refer to instructions for Misc. Fields (“d”) for more information. Lines that are not used will be left empty, as indicated by a hyphen. For example, if the item only occurs on two Main Tab/Sub Tab pages, then the bottom two Main Tab/Sub Tab lines will be empty. Because of space limitations, abbreviations will often be used to allow the Main Tab/Sub Tab name to fit in location “c” as shown. These abbreviations do not follow any set pattern, but vary as required by considerations for clarity and available space. The reader should consult the database if any of the abbreviations in “c” are not immediately obvious. It should be noted that abbreviations are also sometimes used in the database for the tab labels, and these may or may not match the abbreviations used in “c”. Also, the convention is adopted that under the “SI&A” Main Tab, the Sub Tab labeled “NBI Summary” is instead referred to as “All”; thus, its Main Tab/Sub Tab designation is “SI&A/All”.

INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: This is the Item Location in the database. It is described by specifying the Main Tab

(from the top row of tabs) followed by a slash and then the Sub Tab (from the bottom row of tabs associated with the chosen Main Tab). The item can be found on the database Main Tab/Sub Tab page as listed here.

Instructions: Because an item can appear in numerous locations in the database, multiple Main Tab/Sub Tab pages can be specified here (up to eight). The format of this sample BRAGI page would allow for six Main Tab/Sub Tab locations; Miscellaneous Fields associated with two Main Tab/Sub Tab locations could also be specified. The typical BRAGI format is shown on the previous page, with four Main Tab/Sub Tab locations and an associated Misc. Fields (position “d”) for each. However, the number of Main Tab/Sub Tab pages can vary by eliminating Misc. Fields lines in order to accommodate a maximum of eight Main Tab/Sub Tab locations. Lines that are not used will be left empty, as indicated by a hyphen. For example, with a BRAGI page in this format, if the item occurs on five Main Tab/Sub Tab pages, then the second row, second column Main/Sub Tab line will be empty. Because of space limitations, abbreviations will often be used to allow the Main Tab/Sub Tab name to fit in location “c” as shown. These abbreviations do not follow any set pattern, but vary as required by considerations for clarity and available space. The reader should consult the database if any of the abbreviations in “c” are not immediately obvious. It should be noted that abbreviations are also sometimes used in the database for the tab labels, and these may or may not match the abbreviations used in “c”. Also, the convention is adopted that under the “SI&A” Main Tab, the Sub Tab labeled “NBI Summary” is instead referred to as “All”; thus, its Main Tab/Sub Tab designation is “SI&A/All”.

Main Tab/Sub Tab: Misc. Fields: d





INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: These are the Misc. Fields associated with the Main Tab/Sub Tab previously

described (position “c”). Miscellaneous Fields may include check boxes, comment boxes, date boxes, and any other data associated with the Item Number being presented but not actually possessing its own unique item number.

Instructions: Multiple Miscellaneous Fields may be listed on a given line (as many as will fit); all of these would be associated with the Main Tab/Sub Tab location directly to the left (position “c”). Because of space limitations, abbreviations will often be used to allow the various Miscellaneous Fields to fit in position “d” as shown. These abbreviations do not follow any set pattern, but vary as required by considerations for clarity and available space. Occasionally, a Main Tab/Sub Tab will be repeated (e.g., of four locations listed, three are unique and one is a repeat). Typically, this is done in order to present additional information about Miscellaneous Fields associated with that Main Tab/Sub Tab location. If there are multiple Miscellaneous Fields (e.g., check boxes, comment boxes, date boxes) pertaining to that Main Tab/Sub Tab location, they might not all fit in a single Misc. Fields line (position “d”). Therefore, the Miscellaneous Fields will be broken up into multiple lines and the Main Tab/Sub Tab location will be repeated so that it is clear which Miscellaneous Field is associated with which location. Generally, this does not imply that the item itself has multiple appearances on a given Main Tab/Sub Tab page. Typically, there are four lines available for Misc. Fields listings (opposite the four lines for Main Tab/Sub Tab). For an additional formatting option, see the following page. Lines that are not used will be left empty, as indicated by a hyphen. For example, if the item occurs on four Main Tab/Sub Tab pages, but there are only Miscellaneous Fields associated with two of the tabs, then the bottom two Misc. Fields lines will be empty.

Lines that are not used will be left empty, as indicated by a hyphen. For example, with a BRAGI page in this format, if the item occurs on six Main Tab/Sub Tab pages, but there are only Miscellaneous Fields associated with one of the tabs, then the bottom Misc.

NBIS: Yes e Toll Road: Yes Input Format: Drop-Down Manual

INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: The NBIS Check Box indicates whether this item and the data recorded for it are

required for the National Bridge Inventory (NBI) as established by the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS). Essentially, this indicates if the item is found in the FHWA Coding Guide.

Instructions: Typically, non-FHWA items are found in Volume II and Volume III of BRAGI. However, some non-FHWA items that are integrally related to an existing FHWA series may be retained in Volume I rather than breaking up the series; standalone items that are more loosely related to an existing FHWA series will be found in Volume II. Therefore, this box will typically not be checked for Volumes II and III as all of the FHWA items are contained in Volume I.

Notes:

x








INDOT: Yes f County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: The INDOT Check Box indicates whether this item and the data recorded for it are

required for bridges under the jurisdiction of INDOT.

Instructions: If the NBIS box is not checked and the INDOT box is checked, the item will probably be found in either Volume II or Volume III. Volume II contains items related to, but not part of, FHWA numeric series; Volume III contains items not related to FHWA numeric series (e.g., 500 or 600 series).

Notes:

xi







NBIS: Yes Toll Road: Yes g Input Format: Drop-Down Manual

INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: The Toll Road Check Box indicates whether this item and the data recorded for it

are required for bridges under the jurisdiction of the Indiana Toll Road.

Instructions: If the NBIS box is not checked and the Toll Road box is checked, the item will probably be found in either Volume II or Volume III. Volume II contains items related to, but not part of, FHWA numeric series; Volume III contains items not related to FHWA numeric series (e.g., 500 or 600 series).

Notes:

xii








INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes h XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: The County/Local Check Box indicates whether this item and the data recorded for

it are required for bridges under the jurisdiction of a County or other Local Agency.

Instructions: If the NBIS box is not checked and the County/Local box is checked, the item will probably be found in either Volume II or Volume III. Volume II contains items related to, but not part of, FHWA numeric series; Volume III contains items not related to FHWA numeric series (e.g., 500 or 600 series).

Notes:

xiii







NBIS: Yes Toll Road: Yes Input Format: Drop-Down i Manual

INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: The Drop-Down Check Box indicates whether the data for a particular item is

entered by the user through a drop-down list (a series of choices, usually different codes, which appear by clicking in the item field).

Instructions: The term “Drop-Down” is intended to include both standard drop-downs (a triangle to the right of the field indicates that a list of choices will appear once the user clicks in the field) as well as hidden drop-downs (there is no triangle indicating that it is a drop-down field, but once the user clicks in the field a drop-down list or, very often, a calendar box, appears). Note that the BRAGI page for any item is written for a specific audience: the individual with the appropriate permissions to access and modify the data in that particular field. If certain classes of individuals do not have access to a specific item, this may be noted in the Instructions (“p”) or in the Notes (“q”). For example, Load Raters and Administrators can access certain fields that the Inspector cannot. There may be occasions where an item is Read-Only in a certain location (e.g., Under-Records tab) because it is mirroring information that was entered for that item on a different tab. There may also be occasions where one type of input is used for an item on one tab but a different kind of input is used for that same item in a different location (different tab). In that case all applicable Input Format Check Boxes will be checked, and the tabs with non-typical (less prevalent) input formats will be indicated with parenthesis next to the Main Tab/Sub Tab page (position “c”) as follows: (RO) for Read-Only, (DD) for Drop-Down, and (M) for Manual. The format indicated by the check box is intended to describe only the item field itself, not any Miscellaneous Fields associated with the item. The format of these ancillary fields will vary: it may be manual entry for a comment field (i.e., text box), or it may be a hidden drop-down for a date (calendar) box, or it may be a check box to indicate if this item rating governs some overall rating, etc. The format of Miscellaneous Fields will usually be obvious from the general description given in Misc. Fields (location “d”); if not obvious, the user should go into the database to investigate the various fields associated with the given Item Number.

Notes:

Because the input format can vary for component segments of composite items, the “cover page” item Input Format Check Boxes are deliberately left blank; the reader must see the BRAGI page for the particular item segment for input format information.

NBIS: Yes Toll Road: Yes Input Format: Drop-Down Manual j

INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: The Manual Check Box indicates whether the data for a particular item is entered by

the user through a text box via manual entry (typing in data directly as opposing to choosing an option from a drop-down list).

Instructions: Note that the BRAGI page for any item is written for a specific audience: the individual with the appropriate permissions to access and modify the data in that particular field. If certain classes of individuals do not have access to a specific item, this may be noted in the Instructions (“p”) or in the Notes (“q”). For example, Load Raters and Administrators can access certain fields that the Inspector cannot. There may be occasions where an item is Read-Only in a certain location (e.g., Under-Records tab) because it is mirroring information that was entered for that item on a different tab. There may also be occasions where one type of input is used for an item on one tab but a different kind of input is used for that same item in a different location (different tab). In that case all applicable Input Format Check Boxes will be checked, and the tabs with non-typical (less prevalent) input formats will be indicated with parenthesis next to the Main Tab/Sub Tab page (position “c”) as follows: (RO) for Read-Only, (DD) for Drop-Down, and (M) for Manual. The format indicated by the check box is intended to describe only the item field itself, not any Miscellaneous Fields associated with the item. The format of these ancillary fields will vary: it may be manual entry for a comment field (i.e., text box), or it may be a hidden drop-down for a date (calendar) box, or it may be a check box to indicate if this item rating governs some overall rating, etc. The format of Miscellaneous Fields will usually be obvious from the general description given in Misc. Fields (location “d”); if not obvious, the user should go into the database to investigate the various fields associated with the given Item Number.

Notes:

INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XX k Check Box Read-Only Description: The Input Format Digits indicates how many alphanumeric characters are contained

in the database value for a given item.

Instructions: Note that units are not usually indicated here, only the length of the data. Units are typically indicated in the Description (“o”) or Instructions (“p”). One occasion where units are shown in “k” is when the units are mixed: XX ft. XX in. Also note that digits are only indicated for the numbered BRAGI item, not any associated ancillary fields (Misc. Fields). Often for drop-down format items, there will be a single numeric or alpha character (X), or possibly a code of two (XX) or three (XXX) characters. For manual entry items, there will often be a fixed quantity of numeric digits before the decimal place and a fixed quantity of numeric digits after the decimal place (e.g., XX.X or XXXX.XXX). The information in “k” helps the reader to remember to add leading or trailing zeros or spaces when inputting data so as to use up the correct number of digits. The Instructions (position “p”) also mention whether leading or trailing zeros or spaces are required (i.e., whether the item format is right-justified or left-justified, respectively). Note that whether each X must be alpha or numeric or either is not explicitly indicated by the Input Format Digits given in “k”; rather the reader must consult the Instructions (location “p”) for a more thorough description of the data format for that particular item. For items with too many digits to fit in location “k” as shown, the following convention is adopted. There will be an X, an ellipse, another X, and then the total number of required digits in parenthesis. For example, a field that needs 15 alphanumeric characters would be indicated by X…X(15). For items with unlimited input (usually manual entry text boxes such as comment fields), the following convention is adopted. There will be an X followed by an ellipse; this indicates that an infinite number of characters could be entered for the field in question (i.e., X…). If, for some reason, the Input Format Digits is not applicable, that will be indicated by “N/A” in the location shown (e.g., if the item format is a check box).

Notes:

Because the input format can vary for component segments of composite items, the “cover page” item Input Format Digits is deliberately left blank; the reader must see the BRAGI page for the particular item segment for input format information. Also, note that INDOT collects data in the Imperial System of units.

INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box l Read-Only Description: The Check Box Check Box indicates whether the data for a particular item is

entered by the user with a check box.

Instructions: Note that the BRAGI page for any item is written for a specific audience: the individual with the appropriate permissions to access and modify the data in that particular field. If certain classes of individuals do not have access to a specific item, this may be noted in the Instructions (“p”) or in the Notes (“q”). For example, Load Raters and Administrators can access certain fields that the Inspector cannot. There may be occasions where an item is Read-Only in a certain location (e.g., Under-Records tab) because it is mirroring information that was entered for that item on a different tab. There may also be occasions where one type of input is used for an item on one tab but a different kind of input is used for that same item in a different location (different tab). In that case all applicable Input Format Check Boxes will be checked, and the tabs with non-typical (less prevalent) input formats will be indicated with parenthesis next to the Main Tab/Sub Tab page (position “c”) as follows: (RO) for Read-Only, (DD) for Drop-Down, and (M) for Manual. The format indicated by the check box is intended to describe only the item field itself, not any Miscellaneous Fields associated with the item. The format of these ancillary fields will vary: it may be manual entry for a comment field (i.e., text box), or it may be a hidden drop-down for a date (calendar) box, or it may be a check box to indicate if this item rating governs some overall rating, etc. The format of Miscellaneous Fields will usually be obvious from the general description given in Misc. Fields (location “d”); if not obvious, the user should go into the database to investigate the various fields associated with the given Item Number.

INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only m Description: The Read-Only Check Box indicates whether the data for a particular item is read-

only for all users.

Instructions: Note that the BRAGI page for any item is written for a specific audience: the individual with the appropriate permissions to access and modify the data in that particular field. If certain classes of individuals do not have access to a specific item, this may be noted in the Instructions (“p”) or in the Notes (“q”). For example, Load Raters and Administrators can access certain fields that the Inspector cannot. However, there may be occasions where an item is Read-Only in a certain location (e.g., Under-Records tab) because it is mirroring information that was entered for that item on a different tab.

INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: o

Instructions: The Description portion of the BRAGI page is used to give the reader a general idea of the item and its purpose. If the Item Name was abbreviated in position “b”, the full name of the item will be found in the Description (position “o”). For items that require multiple BRAGI pages due to lengthy instructions, figures, etc., the Item Name will be repeated here (position “o”) along with “continued” in parenthesis to indicate that the current BRAGI page is a continuation of the last item rather than a new item. In these cases of multi-page items, all of the information at the top of the first page will be repeated on the continuation pages (positions “a”, “b”, “c”, “d”, “e”, “f”, “g”, “h”, “i”, “j”, “k”, “l”, and “m”). However, Notes applicable to the item (position “q”) will only be shown on the first item page and will not be repeated on subsequent pages.

INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX.XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: At the bottom of the BRAGI page the Notes can be found; this is a catch-all field.

Often it will be left empty, as indicated by a hyphen.

Instructions: The Notes offer additional background on the item or on INDOT’s use of it, helpful hints for the program user, known issues with the database, and any other pertinent information that was not included in the Description or Instructions (either because space didn’t allow or, more usually, because the information did not really belong in positions “o” or “p” due to its non-critical nature). For items that require multiple BRAGI pages due to lengthy instructions, figures, etc., the Item Name will be repeated in position “o” along with “continued” in parenthesis to indicate that the current BRAGI page is a continuation of the last item rather than a new item. All of the information at the top of the first page will be repeated on the continuation pages (positions “a”, “b”, “c”, “d”, “e”, “f”, “g”, “h”, “i”, “j”, “k”, “l”, and “m”). However, Notes applicable to the item (position “q”) will only be shown on the first item page and will not be repeated on subsequent pages.

INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes X… ? Check Box Read-Only Description: This item codes the road number of the inventory route “on” the structure.

Instructions: Enter the appropriate four digit code manually for the road number. This value shall be right justified in the field with leading zeros filled in (e.g., 0024). If concurrent routes are of the same hierarchy level denoted by the route signing prefix, the lowest numbered route shall be coded. For roads without route numbers, code as 0000. For Interstates, code first digit with “I” followed by three digits for the number (e.g., I065). For roads on State Property, code as P000. This item should also be coded for INDOT and Toll Road bridges when the bridge carries a County or City road that passes over an INDOT road. In such a case, code the INDOT road under the bridge. For example, for an INDOT bridge carrying Co. Road #400 East over I-70, code I070 (even though I-70 is not really the road that is physically going over the bridge). This field is sortable, in order to query all bridges on or over a route, such as all bridges on or over I-70 from the Illinois state line to I-465.

Notes/Issues: Questions:

- How many digits is this? Entry in field is unlimited, not just 4 digits.

INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: This item identifies the old INDOT or County bridge number.

Instructions: Enter the old bridge number of the previous INDOT or County bridge which was at the same location as the new bridge. This is not for rehabilitations or repairs, but only for a replacement bridge. It is a 5 digit number, right justified with leading zeros. For INDOT bridges, this is equivalent to the 5-digit part of the old INDOT bridge number that follows the County Code or Log Mile part of the bridge number. For example: I65-128-04555CNBL, 024-84-07522B. For County bridges, this is equivalent to the old 5-digit bridge number. For example: 00010, 00522, F1234.

Item Number: 8E Item Name: New Bridge Number






INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: This item identifies the new INDOT or County bridge number.

Instructions: Enter the new bridge number for the INDOT or County bridge proposed to be built at the same location as the current bridge. This is not for rehabilitation or repairs, but only for a replacement bridge. It is a 5 digit number, right justified with leading zeros. The value to be recorded for this item should be the bridge number for a new bridge which is scheduled to be built. Usually the bridge number is a five digit number. Generally, when a new bridge is planned, a new five digit number is assigned. This helps in distinguishing information concerning the old and new bridge. For INDOT bridges, this is equivalent to the 5-digit part of the new INDOT bridge number that follows the County Code or Log Mile part of the bridge number. For example: I65-128-04555CNBL, 024-84-07522B. For County bridges, this is equivalent to the new 5-digit bridge number. For example: 00010, 00522, F1234.

Item Number: 8L Item Name: County Bridge Number

Main Tab/Sub Tab: Primary/Gen. Inv. Misc. Fields: -





INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes X & XXXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: This item identifies the county bridge number.

Instructions: Enter the county bridge number. The first subpart is one digit, which will either be the letter “A” if the bridge has never been reconstructed, or it will be the letter representing which reconstruction was last performed (B, C, etc.). The second subpart is five digits, all numeric, right justified with leading zeros as required. This subpart represents the actual number which the County uses to label the bridge. For example, the third bridge #8 (at the same location) in a county would be coded as C00008.


Only the second subpart shows up in Load Rating/Structural Data (1) Tab. Why does the first subpart show up in Primary/General Inventory, SI&A/All and SI&A/Identification Tabs but not Load Rating/Structural Data (1) Tab?

Item Number: 37X Item Name: INDOT Historic Select


Main Tab/Sub Tab: SI&A/Classification Misc. Fields: -




INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes N/A Check Box Read-Only Description: This item indicates the historic select status of the structure.

Instructions: Enter the appropriate code from the drop-down menu for the historic select status of the bridge. Select Non-Select The historical significance of a bridge involves a variety of characteristics: the bridge may be a particularly unique example of the history of engineering; the crossing itself might be significant; the bridge might be associated with a historical property or area; or historical significance could be derived from the fact the bridge was associated with significant events or circumstances. The historic select status in this item is equivalent to the State or local historic register mentioned in item 37. Therefore, if classified as “select”, but not on the National Register of Historic Places, the bridge should be coded as 3 for item 37. The “select / non-select” determination was made by a group composed of stake-holders of historic structures, INDOT, and the FHWA. The current list only includes structures built prior to 1965. A complete list of all “select” structures can be found on INDOT’s website. It is anticipated that there will be a continuous effort to review bridges in ten-year groups (e.g., those built between 1965 and 1975) going forward in time.

Item Number: 44C Item Name: Other Approach Span Types






INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes X Check Box Read-Only Description: This item indicates whether or not other approach span types are present.

Instructions: Enter the appropriate code from the drop-down menu for other approach span types. Y - Yes N - No Code this item Y if 44A.01 and 44A.02 were coded for a specific material and design/construction, respectively, because those constituted the predominant material/design/construction, but were not the only approach span material/design/construction. In other words, code as Y if there is a predominant, but not exclusive, material/design/construction for the approach spans. If 44A.02 was coded 20, indicating mixed types of approach span design/construction, this should also be coded Y. However, INDOT prefers that item 44A.02 not be coded 20, but instead that one design/construction type be chosen as predominant (even if it is not). In this case, code item 44C as Y and list all design/construction types in a comment.

The ratings are as follows: N - Not Applicable 9 - Excellent Condition 8 - Very Good Condition 7 - Good Condition 6 - Satisfactory Condition 5 - Fair Condition 4 - Poor Condition 3 - Serious Condition 2 - Critical Condition 1 - Imminent Failure Condition 0 - Failed Condition Note any pitting, section loss, or corrosion holes, as well as collision damage. If a vertical has been bent due to a collision, be sure to check up near the sway bracing for cracks. Although most verticals are compression members, a bent member or some out of plane movement can cause a crack to develop and grow. Cracks may initially only be under rivet / bolt heads and not be seen at the time of a Collision Inspection, but the cracks may propagate over time, so these areas should continue to be closely inspected on follow-up inspections. Check the governing box if this element governs the overall superstructure rating (item 59).

For example, if a bridge was widened in 2005, it would be helpful to note that the deck was completely replaced and 3 new PPC beams were added to the 18 original PPC beams from 1956, and the original piers and abutments were reused but widened. Indicate the widening project contract number in its own field. Incidental deck widening in a rehabilitation is not to be considered as widening. Usually the substructure units will need to be physically widened, or the superstructure will need to be widened (such as by adding additional beam / girder lines), in order to be considered as widening. Unique situations, such as placing a new widened and cantilevered concrete slab superstructure on an existing reinforced concrete arch structure could qualify as a widening as well as a rehabilitation.

Item Number: 106C.1 Item Name: Year Last Repaired

Main Tab/Sub Tab: Primary/General Inventory Misc. Fields: Contract Number, Comments





INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XXXX Check Box Read-Only Description: This item identifies the year of the most recent repair of the structure. Eligibility for

funding under any of the Federal-aid funding categories is not relevant for this item.

Instructions: Enter all 4 digits of the year in which repairs were completed. If the structure has been repaired several times during its service life, enter the year of completion of the most recent repairs. If no repairs have taken place, code 0000. If the repairs have not yet been completed, code 0000 or code the year of completion of the most recent project; make a note in the comments field that repairs are currently ongoing but not yet completed. Generally, most types of work that do not classify as reconstruction or widening would be considered repairs. However, some types of work do not satisfy the notion of repair either; typically these can be distinguished because they are non-structural in nature. Some examples are listed below:

Safety feature replacement or upgrading (bridge rail, approach guardrail, impact attenuators, etc.)

Painting structural steel Bridge deck overlay, without additional bridge work, as part of a highway

resurfacing project that extends beyond the limits of the bridge Utility work

This item is supposed to identify contract repairs and not routine maintenance, unless it results in the raising of an important condition rating item for the bridge.

Item Number: 107B Item Name: Concrete Stay-in-Place Forms






INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes X Check Box Read-Only Description: This item records whether or not the bridge has concrete stay-in-place forms on the

underside of the deck.

Instructions: Manually indicate whether the bridge has concrete stay-in-place forms on the underside of the deck by typing either Y or N. The meaning of these letters is as follows: Y – Yes, there are concrete stay-in-place forms on the underside of the deck N – No, there are not concrete stay-in-place forms on the underside of the deck Concrete stay-in-place forms are not being used much currently, but were used quite a bit in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Concrete stay-in-place forms on skewed bridges that were formed at an angle to match the skew at the ends of the deck often developed diagonal full thickness cracks early on during the curing of the deck. Concrete stay-in-place forms were generally approximately 2 inches thick.

Item Number: 107C Item Name: Metal Stay-in-Place Forms






INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes X Check Box Read-Only Description: This item records whether or not the bridge has metal stay-in-place forms on the

underside of the deck.

Instructions: Manually indicate whether the bridge has metal stay-in-place forms on the underside of the deck by typing either Y or N. The meaning of these letters is as follows: Y – Yes, there are metal stay-in-place forms on the underside of the deck N – No, there are not metal stay-in-place forms on the underside of the deck It is important to note if the vertical edges of the stay-in-place forms are turned upwards (into the deck) or downwards. They should be turned downwards. If they are turned upwards, they create a “pre-made longitudinal crack” in the concrete deck slab, on both sides of the beam / girder, that will grow through the entire thickness of the deck and become visible in the concrete wearing surface. This condition should be noted in the bridge report, and the bridge deck may need to be sealed early in its life to prevent chloride penetration.

Item Number: 107D Item Name: Original Deck Total Thickness






INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes XX.XX Check Box Read-Only Description: This item records the total thickness of the original bridge deck, including any

original deck wearing surface, but exclusive of any subsequent overlays or wearing surfaces.

Instructions: This is a 4 digit field, right justified with a leading zero for thicknesses less than 10 inches. Enter the thickness of the original bridge deck to the nearest hundredth of an inch. The value recorded for this item must be consistent with the thickness of any additional wearing surface coded in item 108D. For example, if the original bridge deck was 8 inches thick, including 1 inch of wearing surface (integral), but now the deck is 10 inches thick because a 2 inch overlay was added last year, then item 107D should be coded 08.00 and item 108D should be coded 02.00. For prestressed concrete box beams, code the top flange of the box as the deck (usually approximately 4 inches thick). Only a few INDOT bridges were built with an original overlay on the deck. The normal concrete deck thickness in Indiana is 8 inches (200 mm on metric plans). For bridges built with an original overlay, the deck would have been 6.5 inches with a 1.5 inch overlay for a total thickness of 8 inches. For bridges with variable deck thickness, code as 99.99 and add a note. For example, a bridge has steel main spans with an 8 inch deck and approach spans with a 6.5 inch deck on concrete girders – code as 99.99 and make a note.

Main Tab/Sub Tab: Scour/Office Screening Misc. Fields: Field Observed Scour Problems

Main Tab/Sub Tab: Scour/Office Screening Misc. Fields: Past Scour Problems


INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes X Check Box Read-Only Description: This item is not an “official” scour rating, but rather a recommended evaluation

which INDOT will use to make the final determination regarding scour vulnerability, to be reported to the FHWA in item 113A.

Instructions:

Choose one of the following from the drop-down menu: N – N/A 9 – ABOVE FLOOD ELEVATION 8 – STABLE – EXCELLENT CONDITION 7 – FIXED – NOT SCOUR CRITICAL 6 – NOT YET EVALUATED 5 – STABLE –WITHIN LIMITS 4 – STABLE – ACTION NEEDED 3 – SCOUR CRITICAL – UNSTABLE 2 – SCOUR CRITICAL – IMMEDIATE ACTION 1 – SCOUR CRITICAL – CLOSED 0 – SCOUR CRITICAL – BRIDGE FAILED U – UNKNOWN FOUNDATION Scour analyses shall be made by a scour evaluation team composed of hydraulic, geotechnical, and structural engineers. The bridge may be determined to be scour critical because abutment or pier foundations are rated as unstable due to observed scour at the bridge site. Otherwise, the scour criticality of the bridge shall be rated based on its scour potential as determined from a scour evaluation study. If item 113R is rated 2 or less, the overall substructure rating (item 60) and other related items (e.g., load ratings, superstructure rating) should reflect the severity of actual scour and resultant damage to the bridge. For example, if item 113R is rated 2 because of extensive observed scour and foundation instability, item 60 will probably be rated 2 also, even if the pier structural el ements are in fair condition with only minor section loss that would otherwise suggest a rating of 5; however, if major deterioration or section loss is also present in critical locations of the substructure such that failure is imminent, item 113R would still be rated 2, but item 60 would be rated 1.

Notes:

Inspectors recommending a change to item 113A can only do so by coding item 113R and emailing the State Program Manager; the process is similar to that used with items 92 / 92X.

INDOT: Yes County/Local: Yes X Check Box Read-Only Description: Scour Evaluation (continued)

Instructions: N = 9 = 8 = 7 = 6 = 5 = 4 = 3 = 2 = 1 = 0 = U =

Code according to the following guidelines: The bridge is not over a waterway and the scour rating is thus not applicable. Bridge foundations, including piles, are on dry land well above flood elevations. Bridge foundations are determined to be stable because scour is above top of footing by qualitative assessment, by quantitative assessment (calculation), or by virtue of properly designed countermeasures. Countermeasures have been installed to mitigate an existing scour problem, or a plan of action has been implemented to reduce risk to the public that might result from a bridge failure during or immediately after a flood event. No scour evaluation has yet been made; this should not be the case for most bridges, but might occur with the jurisdictional transfer of an old bridge or due to other unusual circumstances. Bridge foundations are determined to stable because scour is within the limits of footing or piles by qualitative assessment, by quantitative assessment (calculation), or by virtue of properly designed countermeasures. Bridge foundations were determined to be stable by qualitative assessment or quantitative assessment (calculation), but field review indicates action is required to protect exposed foundations. Bridge foundations are determined to be unstable because qualitative assessment or quantitative assessment (calculation) indicates scour is within limits of footing or piles, or assessment indicates scour is below spread footing base or pile tips. Field review indicates extensive scour has occurred; bridge foundations are unstable because observed scour is below calculated acceptable limits, or because of observed scour conditions reported in item 60 (thus affecting substructure stability). Bridge is closed to traffic; field review indicates failure of piers or abutments is imminent because observed scour is below calculated acceptable limits, or because of observed scour conditions reported in item 60 (thus affecting substructure stability). Bridge has failed and is closed to traffic. Bridge foundations are unknown and not yet evaluated for scour; POA is required.
