Abstract
Bridge inspection and evaluation are essential parts of a bridge management program to ensure public safety by making sure that bridges have sufficient capacity to safely carry loads allowed on them. National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) set minimum standards for the inspection and evaluation of highway bridges in the United States to ensure bridge safety. These standards set requirements for type and frequency of bridge inspections, reporting requirements, personnel qualifications, organizational responsibilities, need for quality control and assurance, and follow-up procedures to address critical findings, resulting from inspections. In most cases, the NBIS suggests a 24-month general inspection interval for bridges, and current inspections are mostly visual based.
