Element Condition State Data

Str UnitElm/Env Description Description

1 102/1 Paint StlBox Girder

Riveted built-up box girder floorbeams exist at UD PP 17 and 17'. The box girder floor beams exhibit

moderate surface rust and section loss of top flange and rivet heads, 10% and 25% respectively. There is

debris from open joint on the top flange of the floorbeam.

1 113/1 Paint StlStringer

The paint has failed and is flaking on the interior upper deck stringers. In locations of expansion joints the

stringers have moderate surface rust with minimal section loss. At some of the splices along the exterior

stringers, pack rust is forming along the edge of the bottom flange splice plate.

1 121/1 P/Stl ThruTruss/Bot

There is pack rust occurring at the lower chord, particularly on the splice plates, filler plates, and cover

plates. There is also pack rust along the edges of the lower chord. This pack rust is causing the edge of

the plate to curl-up. Minor to moderate section loss is occurring on the underside of the lower chord,

particularly in the area of the cover plates and splice plates.

The inboard and outboard gusset plates at the lower chord panel points are generally in good condition.

There is surface rust and flaking paint on the gusset plates, and pack rust around the edges of the plates.

See appendix of short form for table of condition states for each gusset plate.

Summary:






1 126/1 P/Stl ThruTruss/Top

The top chord members and the gussets plate connections to the verticals, diagonals, and lateral bracing

are generally in good condition. The minor deterioration occasionally observed includes (1) surface rust

and minor pack rust along the edge of gusset plates, (2) minor debris and surface rust inside of the topchord around the connection bolts for the top chord splices, (3) pack rust along the outside and inside

edges of the top chord member, and (4) pack rust along the edges of the keeper plates.

The truss members (including the vertical and diagonal members) typically have minor surface rust along

the inside and outside corners of the boxes. Also, along the edge of the internal diaphragms, the truss

members have minor to moderate surface rust, pitting, and pack rust. The corrosion is active in some

areas, but the section loss in the primary members is typically between 1/16 and 3/16. There is pack rust

noted up to 3/16 on the inside of the verticals, especially around the interior diaphragms. There is a

2x0.75 hole in member L1-U1 upstream with a 3.5 diameter area around the hole going from 100%

section loss to 0% of the 0.5 plate.

See appendix of short form for table of condition states for each gusset plate of the top chord and mid-

height joints.

1 152/1 Paint Stl

Floor Beam

The floor beams were observed in overall fair condition. The primary deficiencies noted were cracks at

the floor beam connection to the truss. Of the fourteen total locations, two locations were observed at theend of the floor beam top flange angle at the connection to the truss, eleven locations were noted at the

end of the floor beam in the T-connection at the connection to the truss and one 5/8 crack originating at

rivet hole to edge of fill plate of FB16, UD, DS (see Appendix for table).

1 205/1 R/ConcColumn

Overall, the piers are in satisfactory condition. Minor cracks with minor spalls were observed for Piers I,

II, and III. Pier IV exhibits heavy map cracking and delamination along bottom of pier cap and the full

height of the upstream column, west face.

1 210/1 R/Conc Pier Wall

Minor cracking was present at the bearing areas.

1 22/1 P ConcDeck/RigidOv

The deck was noted in overall satisfactory condition and appears to be structurally sound. The bottom of

the lower deck has spalling with exposed rebar adjacent at the majority of the deck joints. The bottom of

the upper deck exhibited cracking with efflorescence adjacent to the deck joints at a few locations. The

wearing surface of the upper and lower decks are in fair condition with minor spalling typically adjacent to

the expansion joints along with transverse and longitudinal cracking throughout. Grooving in the wearingsurface is showing wear in the wheel path.

1 301/1 PourableJoint Seal

The upper deck joints have been repaired since the previous inspection and are in overall satisfactory

condition. Lower deck joints are in overall poor condition. Primary deficiencies to lower deck joints occur

on bottom of the deck (see 58.1) and leakage.

1 303/1 AssemblyJoint/Seal

Some of the expansion joints at the ends of the truss show a small amount of vertical misalignment. It is

noted up to 1/2. The troughs under these joints are all filled or overflowing with debris.

1 311/1 MoveableBearing

The bearings show fair amounts of surface and pack rust throughout the truss, and heavy pack rust and

active corrosion under the expansion joints. The bearings at the piers are in good condition.

1 313/1 FixedBearing

1 331/1 Conc Bridge

Railing

Vertical cracks in the concrete barriers are typical throughout the length of the bridge. The barrier have

isolated areas of spalling.

Structure Notes

*NOTE THAT THIS 2013 JOINT ANNUAL INSPECTION IN CONJUNCTION WITH ODOT WAS PERFORMED ON 09/16/2013.Joint annual inspection notes are as followed:-All needed repairs throughout structure were left in place for detail in the Inspection Notes Tab from last Fracture CriticalInspection dated 12/29/2010 (Entran, PLC).-Structure is in need of varying degrees of rehab construction soon (paint protective coating system, deck surface patching and/or total overlay project, expansion joint device repairs, under deck inspection walk repairs, etc.).

-Deck surface is deteriorating along intermediate expansion joint device locations. Full depth holes/failures are starting to occur/develop in upper deck of structure at two locations near the north end of bridge as evident from view below. Area of deck alongexpansion joint at panel point #7 of the lower deck was found to have an area of full depth failure that was found during JAInspection, which was repaired same by state crew forces.-Under deck inspection walk system as well as the northbound lower most deck was accessed during time of Joint Annual withODOT. Clip angle connections supporting under deck inspection walk system at back side location of floorbeam element #16remains fractured at this time and are no longer operating as designed.-Protective paint coating system throughout structure was found showing failure, with worst locations being located along areasof expansion joint devices as well as structural members near traveled lanes of structure.-Broken light pole KY span.

This inspection was limited to the "Joint Annual Inspection" with ODOT personnel accessing deck area throughout the lowernorthbound lanes and under deck inspection walk system through portion of structure and does not include Element Level or NBIRated portions for structure. This inspection was not a thorough inspection review of structure.For full detailed inspection report of structure see inspection report dated 12/29/2010.

Inspection Notes

ENTRAN,PLC on December 29, 2010 completed a fracture critical inspection of the truss bridge. The inspection included datagathering for both NBI and PONTIS element level inspection reporting.

In summary, the Brent Spence Bridge is considered to be in overall fair condition. The following NBI condition ratings wereassigned to the structure: DECK - 6; SUPERSTRUCTURE - 6; PAINT CONDITION - 5; SUBSTRUCTURE - 7

ENTRAN suggests the following maintenance recommendations: repair new and active cracks, replace the bolts and fracturedguide plates of the sliding pins at the upper chord, replace compression seals and repair damaged armored edges, remove rustfrom bearings at expansion joints, clean drains and drain pipes, clean troughs under expansion joints, replace the broken ormissing utility box covers, monitor pack rust and section loss thrhoughout truss, clean and paint the floorbeams and stringers,and repair spalls in deck and barriers.

See the signed 2010 Short Form Report on file for description of the Scope of Work, detailed summary of deficiencies and TC71-118 Bridge Inspection Report.

Element Condition State DataStr UnitElm/Env Description Description






The paint has failed and is flaking on the interior upper deck stringers. In locations of expansion joints the

stringers have moderate surface rust with minimal section loss. At some of the splices along the exterior




plates. There is also pack rust along the edges of the lower chord. Section loss is occurring on the

underside of the lower chord, particularly in the area of the cover plates and splice plates. It is noted up to

50% at the cover plate. There is also section loss on the lower chord at the connection to the vertical

members.

The inboard and outboard gusset plates at the lower chord panel points are generally in good condition.There is surface rust and flaking paint on the gusset plates, and pack rust around the edges of the plates.

In some locations, there is pack rust up to 1 thick that is prying up the gusset plates. There is section

loss up to 1/8 at some locations. See appendix of short form for table of condition states for each gusset

plate.




and minor pack rust along the edge of gusset plates, (2) minor debris and surface rust inside of the top

chord around the connection bolts for the top chord splices, (3) pack rust along the outside and inside






noted up to 3/16 on the inside of the verticals, especially around the interior diaphragms. There is a2x0.75 hole in member L1-U1 upstream with a 3.5 diameter area around the hole going from 100%



height joints.

1 152/1 Paint StlFloor Beam

The floorbeams exhibit section loss and surface rust throughout the bridge. The filler plates of the floor

beams typically have section loss up to 3/16, and there is typically pack rust along these filler plates and

stiffeners. The coverplates often exhibit section loss at this location. Under the expansion joints, there is

heavy corrosion and debris on top of the floor beams.

There are cracks on the T-connections, filler plates, and welds of the floorbeams, including a significant

amount of new cracks in these locations. See appendix of short form for crack location and sizes.

There is a crack at Pier 1 that is deep and runs the entire depth of the pier cap and continues through

the column. There is severe map cracking and delamination the full height of the west face of the

upstream column. Otherwise, the piers appear to be in good condition.




The deck is in overall fair condition. There is transverse and longitudinal cracking throughout the upper

and lower deck. There are failed patches and spalls that are typically next to the expansion joints. There

are locations of spalls with exposed reinforcement. Asphalt patches have failed. There are transverse

cracks throughout the deck.

*NOTE THAT THIS 2013 JOINT ANNUAL INSPECTION IN CONJUNCTION WITH ODOT WAS PERFORMED ON 09/16/2013.Joint annual inspection notes are as followed:-All needed repairs throughout structure were left in place for detail in the Inspection Notes Tab from last Fracture Critical

Inspection dated 12/29/2010 (Entran, PLC).-Structure is in need of varying degrees of rehab construction soon (paint protective coating system, deck surface patching and/or total overlay project, expansion joint device repairs, under deck inspection walk repairs, etc.).-Deck surface is deteriorating along intermediate expansion joint device locations. Full depth holes/failures are starting to occur/develop in upper deck of structure at two locations near the north end of bridge as evident from view below. Area of deck alongexpansion joint at panel point #7 of the lower deck was found to have an area of full depth failure that was found during JAInspection, which was repaired same by state crew forces.-Under deck inspection walk system as well as the northbound lower most deck was accessed during time of Joint Annual withODOT.

Inspection Notes



ENTRAN suggests the following maintenance recommendations: repair new and active cracks, replace the bolts and fractured

guide plates of the sliding pins at the upper chord, replace compression seals and repair damaged armored edges, remove rustfrom bearings at expansion joints, clean drains and drain pipes, clean troughs under expansion joints, replace the broken ormissing utility box covers, monitor pack rust and section loss thrhoughout truss, clean and paint the floorbeams and stringers,and repair spalls in deck and barriers.
