Book Description
"Societal challenges and trends, such as increased population densities, urban and coastal economic pressures, increased pressure on natural habitats and threats of climate change, require innovative and sustainable approaches to support healthy natural ecosystems and human development. Sustainable approaches are used to carefully manage environmental resources and maximize the use of local materials, thus promoting a circular economy that beneficially uses and reuses raw materials, reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, promotes the cost-effective management of natural or managed habitats and promotes greater coastal resilience to climate change. With increased interest in using dredged sediment beneficially, this guidance focuses on how best to plan for and apply Beneficial Use (BU) principals."--Introduction.

Book Description
This synthesis reports bridge inspection practices in the United States and selected foreign countries. The synthesis is a collection of information on formal inspection practices of departments of transportation (DOTs). These are primarily visual inspections and they provide data to bridge registries and databases. For U.S. inspection practices, this synthesis reports on inspection personnel, inspection types, and inspection quality control and quality assurance. Staff titles and functions in inspection programs are reported, together with qualifications and training of personnel, formation of inspection teams, and assignment of teams to bridges. Inspection types are described in terms of their scope, methods, and intervals. Quality control and quality assurance programs are reviewed in terms of the procedures employed, staff involved, quality measurements obtained, and the use of quality findings in DOT inspection programs. Foreign practices are presented in the same organization of inspection personnel, types, and quality programs. Comparisons of U.S. and foreign inspection practices are included. Information was obtained from a questionnaire sent to U.S. state transportation departments, similar questionnaires modified individually for transportation agencies in selected foreign countries, and formal documents used by transportation departments and agencies. These documents primarily included bridge inspection manuals, inspection training manuals, and technical memoranda, but also included blank forms for inspections, DOTs job descriptions for inspectors, and descriptions of inspection training courses. Overall, this synthesis includes information from forty U.S. state transportation departments and from roads agencies in eight foreign nations (Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, and the United Kingdom). The synthesis also includes, in an appendix, information from a few provincial and municipal transport agencies in Canada.
