| Abstract | As reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, bridges in the United States are impacted (struck and damaged) on average 15,000 times a year. FHWA has formally recognized a damage inspection as a type of bridge inspection in 23 CFR Section 650.305; therefore, State DOTs have all developed some sort of guidance addressing bridge impact assessment. This case study is a bridge owner’s resource for recommended practices for responding to bridge hits, making repairs to the bridge, and allowing return of the bridge to full service as quickly as possible. |
