192County 16: County bridge inspection (by awarded engineering firm)County 17: We participate in the state m<strong>and</strong>atory bridge inspection every two year anengineering firm is hired that inspects all our bridges. Once a steel truss is decided torehabilitated, an engineering firm is hired to develop plans <strong>and</strong> specs for that bridge.What procedures are used when a wrought iron bridge needs to be rated for loadcapacity?State 1: Follow AASHTO Manual for Condition <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>of</strong> BridgesState 3: Rating Rules as prescribed by AASHTOState 4: We would need to determine the capacity <strong>of</strong> wrought iron. Then use proceduresoutlined in AASHTO Manual for Condition <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>of</strong> Bridges. FHWA requires thatLoad Factor Design method for find rate.State 5: Coupons have been cut from the bridge to determine mechanical properties.State 6: Classic Structural Analysis <strong>and</strong> AASHTO Specs.State 7: Cased upon AASHTO allowable stresses for wrought iron.State 13: Same as structural Steel before year 1905.State 17: Rate using allowable maximum unit stress per AASHTO Manual for Condition<strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>of</strong> Bridges Section 6.6.2.2State 18: Use LARs load analysis Rating system with 26,000 psi yield StrengthState 25: Normal rating procedures with use <strong>of</strong> allowable stresses for wrought iron asspecified in AASHTO Manual for Condition <strong>Evaluation</strong>.State 26: AASHTO Bridge Specs.State 30: Follow AASHTO Specs.State 31: The allowable stresses for the wrought iron members are reduced in accordancewith AASHTO guidelines.State 32: We would use stresses for wrought iron from AASHTO "Manual for conditionevaluation <strong>of</strong> bridges"State 33: Assume wrought iron equivalent to A36 Steel
