Product Description

The Manual for Bridge Element Inspection, 2nd Edition (Item Code: MBEI-2), published in 2019, is a reference for standardized element definitions, element quantity calculations, condition state definitions, element feasible actions, and inspection conventions. Its goal is to capture the condition of bridges in a simple, effective way that can be standardized nationwide, while providing enough flexibility to be adapted by both large and small agencies. The manual is designed for use by state departments of transportation and other agencies that perform element-level bridge inspections. These 2025 Interim Revisions (Item Code: MBEI-2-I3) to the manual contain changes to the following: Section 2: Element Location Matrix (2.1.3, 2.1.5, 2.2.3, and 2.2.4); Section 3: Detailed Element Descriptions (3.1.1, 3.1.3, 3.1.5, 3.1.9, 3.1.10, 3.2.6.1, 3.2.6.2, 3.2.9, 3.2.9.1, 3.2.11, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13); and Appendix C: Element Groupings (Figures C-1 and C-2). In addition, these Interim Revisions provide the following descriptions of critical elements typically found in large bridges: New National Bridge Elements (NBEs) for concrete anchorage blocks, steel and concrete anchorage chamber walls, steel primary cable saddles, steel anchorage sockets, and reinforced concrete and masonry pier towers; Bridge Management Elements (BMEs), which include cable protective systems, vibration dampers, substructure impact protection, steel primary cable bands/splay castings; New Elements for Deck Drainage Systems and Post-Tensioning Assemblies to provide a uniform means of recording the condition of these important bridge elements; Defect Elements describing common damage modes for these new elements that were not captured by existing defect elements; and Revised Description for Condition States for the Defect Element Efflorescence/Rust Staining (1120) to provide clear delineation between Condition State 2 and Condition State 3. It is necessary to have these 2025 Interim Revisions, as well as the 2022 and 2024 Interim Revisions (Item Codes: MBEI-2-I1 and MBEI-2-I2, respectively), to have all current specification information.
