TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Research Report 833: Assessing, Coding, and Marking of Highway Structures in Emergency Situations, Volume 1: Research Overview provides background information and an overview of the process, supporting manuals, and training materials used to help agencies assess highway structures in emergency situations.

NCHRP Research Report 833, Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3; along with NCHRP Web-Only Document 223: Guidelines for Development of Smart Apps for Assessing, Coding, and Marking Highway Structures in Emergency Situations provides guidelines for related coding and marking that can be recognized by highway agencies and other organizations that respond to emergencies resulting from natural or man-made disasters.

In addition, the project produced supplemental materials that are available online. The files include Preliminary Damage Assessment Forms for each structure type and training material for four workshops to further help highway agencies and other emergency response organizations with implementing this guidance.

  • Supplemental Materials
    Templates for Preliminary Damage Assessment Forms for each structure type can be customized by the agency. Four types of training material to further help highway agencies and other emergency response organizations with the implementation of the developed manual and guidelines. This training material includes: (a) general training for the general audience who will interface with those involved in the assessment process, (b) basic training for damage assessment responders, (c) specialized training for managing engineers who will oversee the assessment process, and (d) a quick refresher for damage assessment responders on the most relevant procedures for Preliminary Damage Assessment.
