Design Bridge Plan Checklist: Additional Guidelines

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 minimum lap splice lengths, if applicable. Detail bent reinforcement bars using out-to-out dimensions. Show slope of bends if applicable. When modifying standards, block out and cross-hatch unused details rather than deleting them. Add “MODIFIED” to the figure or detail number. Add a box that indicates the nature of the modification from the standard. Avoid using scales smaller than 3/8” for substructure details. Locate quantity summaries for bridge components (piers, superstructure, etc.) in the upper right-hand corner of plan sheets.
