Inspection and Testing Access for T1 Steel - SEI Philly September 2025 Webinar

Description: In response to the FHWA Memorandum for the Non-Destructive Testing of Fracture Critical Members Fabricated from AASHTO M244 Grade 100 Steel, bridge owners were required to perform hands-on inspection of tension members fabricated with T-1 steel, including visual inspection to verify the soundness of all tension butt welds and non-destructive testing (NDT) of the welds. Access to perform these visual and NDT inspections on large, complex truss structures is challenging and requires a great deal of logistics and expertise. This presentation will discuss the methods employed to perform inspection and testing on one of the largest trusses in the US and manage the collection of the inspection data.
