Field Inspection - Week-3 Discussion Alternate Topic

Those who wish to substitute the following for the discussion portion of the week-3 blog entry may do so. Understand that you still include the notebook entries on what you did and what you're going to do.

Field Inspection

Safely visit a truss bridge, take photos, make observations on its function and its status.  By status we mean.

• Its overall condition
• Whether the traffic loads on it appear too great, too little, or about right
• Any particular problems you observe, particularly with respect to the truss portion of the bridge

Include the photos in your blog entry as well as your observations.
