structures design report
(OP)
Hi guys,
I have recently been asked by my DOT to submit a structures design report with other documentation for a rural bridge structure. My question is:
What information should I include in a structures design report?
I am thinking of including magnitude of loads, load combinations, methods of analysis, performance under temperature effects etc, forces and design of members.
Has anyone ever been required to provide a report along with there design?

Try not to include acronyms as nobody will have a clue what you are talking about, ie. what is a DOT?

I scribbled together a document which I use as an aide memoir. The specifics wont be of use but the format might help

Here's a link to NYSDOT Bridge Manual

Look at Section 3; it provides information required in a strucutres justification report. The Manual also refers to a Design Approval Document. This could be an EIS or EA
For those unfamiliar with the terms:
EIS - Environmental Impact Statement
EA - Environmental Assessment
DOT's generally follow the Federal outline.
Some DOT's use what's called TS&L Study - Type, Size & Location. They include:
Project Description
Span Arrangement
Governing Specifications
Design Method
Loading
Materials
Superstructure Types
Substructure Types
Special Considerations
Cost Estimate
Recommendation
Sketches
