So at near the end of May (ya I've been pretty busy and lacking on the updates) I inspected two six rolled steel beam bridges and bottom flange cover plates.
The bridges carry Route 24 North and South in Tiverton. This was my first time in Tiverton and I have to say that it is a very picturesque spot locate right on the coast, if you have a chance check it out.
The rolled steel beams had minor deficiencies with section loss to the bearing stiffeners. The were in pretty rough shape at the expansion end with heavy spalling to the backwall which extended throught to the wearing surface.
Nearing the end of the inspection the bucket truck started to have problems operating and needed to be reved (sp?) to allow the enough hydraulic pressure to move smoothly (or move at all)
