MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGY FOR BRIDGE REPAIR: FINAL PHASE (MULTIMEDIA TECH FOR BRIDGE REPAIR, II)

This project focused on providing guidelines for conducting concrete and timber bridge inspections for the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT), and evaluating and understanding the various maintenance procedures available for this purpose. A self-training tool was developed in the form of a multimedia website and a CD-ROM. This website is intended to provide the inspector with an understanding of the general characteristics of deterioration and the concepts related to inspection procedures. This tool can be very valuable to ALDOT and county engineers because it describes procedures for inspecting bridges, and it has step-by-step instructions, accompanied by photographic illustrations for the various maintenance procedures utilized by ALDOT.
