This module is part of a 6 part webinar series.  Module 1 should be completed before taking Modules 2-6.  Module 4 will cover: Steel & Moveable Bridges Inspection.

Steel Bridge Inspection
This module presents the fundamental of steel bridge inspection by providing a basic understanding of steel as a bridge material, the components that make up a steel bridge, typical defects, and failure modes such as crack development, corrosion. In addition, steel bridge types will be reviewed and their unique inspection requirements.

Learning Outcomes:

• The types of steel bridges along with their unique characteristics and where defects generally occur.

Movable Bridge Inspection
This module section presents the fundamental of movable bridge inspection by providing a basic understanding of the three basic types and how they transfer dead and live loads into the substructure. Inspection of mechanical, electrical and safety systems are reviewed as well as typical defects and failure modes for the three basic movable bridge types.

Learning Outcomes:
• The three types of movable bridges and how they carry dead and live loads.
• Mechanical and electrical inspection of movable bridge drive and safety systems and where defects typically occur.
• Specific requirements of swing bridge inspection.
• Specific requirements of bascule bridge inspection.
