NOTES ON BRIDGE INSPECTION REPORTS
Some common problems to be noted under the "Remarks" heading:
i) TIMBER PILES AND SAWN TIMBER: treated — checks, cracks, mechanical damage, rot; untreated — rot, checks,
mechanical damage, wear.
ii) LOGS: rot, spiral grain, cracks, unpeeled (measure depth of rot and record).
iii) STEEL CONNECTORS (rods, bolts, nails, wire rope, etc.): corroded, loose, broken, missing.
iv) GLULAM: checks, cracks, rot.
v) STEEL GIRDERS: cracks in welds, corrosion of painted surface, change in geometry or alignment.
vi) CONCRETE: cracks, spalling.
vii) DELINEATORS: broken, missing.
viii) LOG CRIBS: tilting, bulging, rot, scour.
ix) PILE OR POST ABUTMENTS: broken or twisted planks, broken tie-backs, leaning either parallel or perpendicular
to bridge centreline, rot at groundline, scour.
x) PIERS: leaning, scour, ice damage, debris build-up.
xi) RIPRAP: missing, unstable, poorly-graded.
xii) FILL: sloughing, uneven or excessive settlement, poor drainage.
Mark all other problems or deficiencies as applicable.
Particular attention should be paid to rot in wood, especially at groundline, at connectors and at bearings, as well as at
or near midspan of log stringers.
Where individual problems are noted, they should be clearly identified as to location in bridge (e.g., abutment #1; pier #2
— pile #2; span #2 — stringer #4), complete with a sketch detailing the problem (length, width and depth of a crack).
