Design Bridge Plan Checklist: Abutment Reinforcement Sheets

The mobile form includes fields to document items such as bridge number, location, date, reviewer's notes and captures the reviewer's signature. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your bridge engineering and construction records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form. This app is meant to be used as a checklist for the production and checking of final design bridge plans. It applies to the typical deck on beam type bridges, slab type bridges, and box culverts that meet the definition of a bridge. Use it as a guide only and do not assume it to be all-encompassing. Designers and drafters are expected to use good engineering judgment regarding the correct content to include in final bridge plans. Show piles using dashed line style, line weight 0 or 1, and remove batter arrow. Show and label centerline of roadway and working line. Provide construction joint tie bars at vertical construction joints. Show and label vertical and horizontal reinforcement bars. Show and dimension projection of back face vertical bar from bridge seat into parapet if applicable. Show and label centerline of bearing. For integral and semi-integral abutments, show and label diaphragm to approach panel connection bar. For new bridges, use stainless steel bar. For repair projects, use the epoxy coated bar.
