Significant Changes• Four condition states for all elements.

– Follows – Good, Fair, Poor, Serious convention.• Wearing surfaces separated from deck 

element.– Deck element units changed to square feet with 

multiple deterioration paths.• Steel protective coatings separated from 

steel.• All smart flags have been incorporated into 

condition state language.• New elements for timber trestle and 

framed/built up tower supports.

Page 19: BRIDGE MANAGEMENT, EVALUATION AND …€¢ T‐18 is the Technical Committee for Bridge Management, Evaluation, and Rehabilitation ... Guide Deck Element Example 6000 sq ft ... Questions

Element Types• National Bridge Elements (NBE’s)

– Represent the primary structural components of  bridges necessary to determine overall condition  and safety.

– Includes all primary structural elements.• Decks, Slabs, Girders, Columns, Abutments etc.

– Condition state language is not editable.– Designed to remain consistent from agency to 

agency– Minimal implementation level for non‐element 

inspection agencies.

National Bridge Elements

Page 21: BRIDGE MANAGEMENT, EVALUATION AND …€¢ T‐18 is the Technical Committee for Bridge Management, Evaluation, and Rehabilitation ... Guide Deck Element Example 6000 sq ft ... Questions

Element Types• Bridge Management Elements (BME’s)

– Elements define secondary bridge components.• Joints, wearing surfaces, protective coatings,etc.

– Provide and added level of condition assessment  for agencies utilizing bridge management 

systems.

– Can be extended to capture other components as  desired by the agency.

– Can influence deterioration modeling.

Bridge Management Elements

Page 23: BRIDGE MANAGEMENT, EVALUATION AND …€¢ T‐18 is the Technical Committee for Bridge Management, Evaluation, and Rehabilitation ... Guide Deck Element Example 6000 sq ft ... Questions

Element Types• Agency Developed Elements

– Supports agency developed elements.– Require fours conditions states following 

general definitions.– May be sub‐sets of NBE’s or BME’s.

• Sub‐sets of NBE’s require same condition state 

language.• Can be sub‐sets of BME’s.

– May be unrelated to any defined element.– May be subject to deterioration modeling or 

not.– Allows the incorporation of non‐bridge assets.

CoRe Deck Element Example

Numerous  areas of  delaminations and open 

spalls in the deck surface.  Spans 2, 3, and 5 have 

heavy delaminations with  asphalt and concrete 

patches.  Approximately  60% or more of the deck is 

patched, spalled or  delaminated.

CoRe Steel Painted Element Example

Paint is off down to the bare  metal. Areas where the 

paint has peeled at the  joints has started to rust. 

There are small areas that  have pitted.

Questions and AnswersWhy change the elements?• Goal of  capturing all condition defects on the 

bridges.• Provide the means for consistent detailed bridge 

condition information.• Improve the deck and slab language to capture 

structural capacity and defects of these high  maintenance items.

• Separate wearing surfaces and protective coatings  out for management of these protection systems. 

Page 34: BRIDGE MANAGEMENT, EVALUATION AND …€¢ T‐18 is the Technical Committee for Bridge Management, Evaluation, and Rehabilitation ... Guide Deck Element Example 6000 sq ft ... Questions

Questions and AnswersWill retraining of our inspectors be required?

• The new elements build on a concept that they are  familiar with, however some training will be required.

• Many of the changes in the new elements will appeal to  the field inspectors and will be welcome improvements. 

• The consistent four state model will provide for more  standardized inspection from one element to the next.

Questions and AnswersWill the new element manual impact the 

sufficiency rating?• The new elements are not currently associated with 

the sufficiency rating and will have no impact on  project eligibility or apportionment. 

What is the status of implementation of the new  Guide  Manual for Bridge Element Inspection?

Page 36: BRIDGE MANAGEMENT, EVALUATION AND …€¢ T‐18 is the Technical Committee for Bridge Management, Evaluation, and Rehabilitation ... Guide Deck Element Example 6000 sq ft ... Questions

Conclusion1.

Improvements to the Manual for Bridge 

Evaluation will continue so as to be a  more useful tool to bridge inspections  and load raters .

Conclusion (…continued)

2.

Implementation and  future revisions  of the Guide Manual for Bridge 

Element Inspection will provide the  States with an improved Bridge 

Management System .
