Abstract:Within the state of Indiana, there are approximately 9,000 structures with unsupported span lengths that range from 4 ft to 20ft that the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is responsible for maintaining. These structures are referred to as large culverts by INDOT. The agency recognized the need to improve culvert inspection procedures so that inspection data that is collected can provide essential information to asset engineers who make decisions regarding culvert management. The purpose of the project described in this report was to identify best practices for the inspection and management of these structures to develop guidelines that optimize the resources allocated for the maintenance and inspection of large culvert structures. This study found that standardizing the inspection process and evaluation criteria for inspection will positively impact the overall performance of the inventory of these structures. A proposed large culvert inspection manual accompanies this report and provides a detailed guide for large culvert inspection.
