This engineering online PDH course discusses the history of the National Bridge Inspection Program, the responsibilities of the bridge inspector, and quality control/quality assurance.
Advances in technology and construction have greatly enhanced current bridge design. However, the emergence of previously unknown problem areas and the escalating cost of replacing older bridges make it imperative that existing bridges be evaluated properly to be kept open and safe.
The 1 PDH online course is intended for civil, construction and structural engineers, and would be of particular interest to consulting engineers or to engineers serving in government organizations concerned with the safety of bridges.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Knowing the history of the national bridge inspection program
- Understanding the responsibilities of the bridge inspector
- Knowing the qualifications needed to be a bridge inspector
- Implementing quality control and quality assurance methods in a bridge inspection program
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions to earn 1 PDH credit. The quiz will be based on Chapter 1 of this FHWA publication.

This engineering online PDH course describes bridge inspection reporting, including structure inventory, condition and appraisal, record keeping and appraisal, the inspection report, and AASTO commonly recognized (CoRe) elements.
A uniform reporting system is essential to evaluate the condition of a structure correctly and efficiently and to protect the public’s safety and investment in bridge structures. It is a valuable aid in establishing maintenance priorities and replacement priorities, and in determining structure capacity and the cost of maintaining the nation’s bridges. It is, therefore, essential that bridge inspection data be clear, accurate, and complete, since it is an integral part of the lifelong record file of the bridge.

This engineering online PDH course describes the duties of the bridge inspection team, safety fundamentals for bridge inspectors, temporary traffic control, inspection equipment, and methods of access.
Bridge inspection plays an important role in providing a safe infrastructure for the nation. As the nation’s bridges continue to age and deteriorate, an accurate and thorough assessment of each bridge’s condition is critical in maintaining a dependable highway system.
While completing the inspection in a timely and efficient manner is important, safety is also a major concern in the field. Attitude, alertness, and common sense are three important factors in maintaining safety. To reduce the possibility of accidents, bridge inspectors need to be concerned about safety.
