Abstract:
This poster highlights the 2024 Recipient of the Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) Excellence Award - the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) and its efforts in accomplishing this honor. As a result of extensive collaboration and research, this TPF study created two new American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guide specifications. Transportation agencies around the country are already using these guide specifications for evaluating existing steel bridges and informing new designs.
The results of the project have changed how the bridge engineering profession views an entire classification of structures and will result in tens of millions of dollars in savings related to the cost of in-service inspection strategies.
