Prerequisites

Before starting to create structures you should check that the reference data has been successfully loaded. If you are to use Structures with a full associated road network, your road network should be set up.

Structure Locking

Structure locking stops users from updating a structures inventory or inspection details and will occur for the two following reasons:

1. A structure or its attributes are currently being modified by another user. This structure will remain locked until the user that is modifying the structure commits it to the database. It you attempt to modify this structure you will receive the following error message:

ERROR: Structure currently locked by another user.

2. A structure has been downloaded onto a Data Capture Device

(DCD) for inspection purposes. If you attempt to modify this structure you will receive the following error message:

ERROR: Inspection in progress; cannot modify record.

Structure Hierarchies and Attributes - STR3020

Figure 1 Structure Hierarchies And Attributes Menu Option

Figure 2

General Information

This form is used to maintain the structure definitions, entering associated attribute values and maintaining road intersection and obstruction details. Associated attribute values can be added for each item within the structure and new items can be added to the structure. Structures can be created using this form if you do not wish to create the structure using templates. To copy an existing structure, highlight the structure to be copied and select [Copy Structure] this will copy the structure hierarchy, attributes, intersections and obstructions. A dummy name and local reference will be displayed, these should be updated with the appropriate values. When structures are retrieved in this window, by default all current structures will be displayed. Select the [Historical] button to view structures that have been closed using Delete Structures – STR3030. The [Current] button will display all current structures.



11

Sorting Results

Results within the form may be sorted by any of the fields in the Current Structures block by pressing the field name (column heading) which are also ‘Sort’ buttons. The first time a heading is pressed the records are sorted in ascending order. If pressed again the records within the column will be sorted in descending order. A ‘carat’ (^) symbol or lower case ‘v’ is displayed adjacent to the column name to indicate that the data has been sorted in ascending or descending order respectively as shown below.

Figure 3 Sort

If a query has been carried out to retrieve a set of data, when the ordering is carried out only that data retrieved as a result of the query will be ordered. Another query will have to be executed if additional data is required to be viewed.

Figure 4 Structures

Structures

This window allows the creation of new structures or the modification of details on an existing structure. When you enter this window, the cursor sits in the Structure Type field waiting for you to enter new data. To retrieve existing structures, select [Execute Query] enter your selection criteria followed by [Execute Query]. To view more details of the highlighted structure, press [Expand] Structure Type (Required) List

Enter an existing code for a structure type. A description will be displayed in the adjacent field. Structure types are set up and maintained using Structure Item Types – STR2030. Local Ref. (Optional)

Enter the local reference for the structure. The local reference is updated here and not in the expansion block. Structure Name (Required)

Enter the name of the structure. The structure name is updated here and not in the expansion block. Start Date (Required)

Enter the start date of the structure. End Date (Display Only)

The end date will be entered by the system when the bridge is closed. The end date of a structure will only be visible when the [Historical] button has been selected.



13

Figure 5 Hierarchy

Hierarchy

The structure hierarchy for the highlighted structure is displayed here and allows the insertion and modification of structure items. When changes are made to the structures hierarchy, Structures checks that the Item Type is correct for the level it is to be inserted. You cannot delete an element here if it has dependents or associated records. This must be done using Resequence Structure Hierarchies – STR3060. When inserting elements into the hierarchy select the element that is to have a new element added as a child item then select the right mouse button, the

button will be displayed, when selected a list of available element types will be displayed for selection. To view and change the element and its associated attributes, select the element and update the details in the attributes block below. When building a structure hierarchy it is important that the hierarchy has the correct parent/child relationship To rename the element description to make it more meaningful for the selected structure, for example updating the text ‘Parapet’ to ‘Parapet – upstream’ the user must select the description in the attributes field prior to entering the attribute details for the associated element. Select the [Historical] button to view items within the hierarchy for the selected structure that have been closed using Resequence Structure Hierarchies – STR3060. The [Current] button will display all current items within the hierarchy, this is the default.




14

Figure 6 Attributes

Attributes

This block displays the attributes associated with the highlighted element within the structure hierarchy. If an attribute such as ‘Parapet Code’ has changed following some work on a structure it is not sufficient to simply change the value here, the parapet item should be closed using Resequence Structure Hierarchies – STR3060 and re-entered with the appropriate values. This is important so you retain the structures construction history. Note: You cannot insert or delete records here, since the set of attributes is determined by the item type in Structure Item Types – STR2030. Type (Display Only)

The currently selected element type code will be displayed. If the item is not a top level item and has no attribute data entered against it it will have a picklist and can be updated if required. Item Name (Update)

The element name will be displayed, the default value supplied by the system may be updated in this field to give it a more sensible meaning, for example updating the text ‘ Parapet’ to ‘Upstream Parapet’. Attribute (Display Only)

The attributes associated to the selected item type will be displayed here. These can be added to and re-ordered using Structure Item Types – STR2030 Value (Optional)

You may enter a value associated with the attribute. Depending on the attribute type a List of Values may be available. The value entered is controlled by validation associated with the attribute format as set up using Attribute Types – STR2020. Meaning (Display Only)

An explanation of the value entered will be displayed, providing the attribute has an associated List of Values.

Figure 8 Intersections

Intersections

This window details the intersections of the structure with the road network. One (and only one) of the records must be nominated as the ‘Primary Route’ by checking the Primary Flag. The main use of this is in reporting, where it is often desirable to indicate the primary route associated with a structure. When you enter this window, the cursor sits in the Seq No field and the system does an automatic query to retrieve existing data. The scroll bar along the botton allows you to see the following fields:

Figure 9

The [Expand] key is available in all fields in this block and, when pressed, will display the following information about the intersection details in full:

Figure 15

In these cases the structure cannot be displayed on a map.

Query a Structure using a Locator Search

Structures can be found using Locator – NM0572 by either using the ‘Search For’ facility to query on Structure Attributes or by selecting the required Structure directly from the Map window using one of the ‘Feature Selection Tools’ available.

Querying Structures using the ‘Search For’ tool

The ‘Search For’ facility within Locator – NM0572 allows Structures to be queried using their attribute values. The results are displayed within a Results Grid and may be subsequently exported in a Client PC in either CSV or XML format.

Note: Structures may only be queried within Locator if they have been defined as an ‘Exor External Asset’. This is automatically created when a Spatial Layer is created for Structures within the GIS Layer Tool – GIS0020.

To search for Structures within Locator, select ‘Structures’ from the list of searchable Item Types and enter the required query criteria in the appropriate attributes. To execute the search press the [Search] button at the bottom of the form.

Resequence Structure Hierarchies - STR3060

Figure 27 Resequence Structure Hierarchies Menu Option

Figure 28

General Information

This form allows very specific updates to a structure. It is intended that this form will be used by an experienced operator and will handle infrequent tasks that have been separated from Structure Hierarchies and Attributes to avoid over-complication. The following functionality is available in this form and nowhere else:

Amend the start and end dates of a structure item (or all items in a sub-tree) to show how a structure has changed over a period of time.

Amend the sequence number of a structure item to re-sequence items that have a common parent.

Close all items in a sub-tree. All the functionality available on page one of Structure Hierarchies and Attributes – STR3020 is also available in this form.



29

Historical Data

When updating structure components it is important the component is end dated here instead of simply changing the attribute values in Structure Hierarchy and Attributes. For example if a parapet material has changed from steel to aluminium the steel parapet should be end dated and a new aluminium parapet added. This is important because it will keep the historical details of the structure.

Deleting all or part of a structure

Generally structures and their hierarchies are end dated and can be viewed by selecting the Historical button in Structure Hierarchies and Attributes – STR3020. If you wish to completely remove all or part of a structure from the system you must set the product option STRDELSTRS to 'Y'. When this option is set to 'Y', [Delete Record] becomes active when a record in the structure hierarchy is selected. To delete the complete structure select the top record in the hierarchy followed by [Delete Record].

Structure

When you enter this window, the cursor sits in the Structure Type field waiting for you to enter selection criteria. Select [Enter Query] enter your selection criteria followed by [Execute Query] to obtain existing information. Structure Type (Required) List

Enter an existing structure type. A description will be displayed in the adjacent field. Structure Name (Required) List

Enter the name of an existing structure. Local Ref (Required) List

Enter the local reference for the structure.




30

Hierarchy

The structure hierarchy will be displayed here, allowing the insertion, update and deletion of structure items. The chevrons (>) preceding each item indicate the level of that item in the structure hierarchy and are for display purposes only. Items of the structure that have been closed will be displayed here. Operators using Structures on a day to day basis will normally only be interested in the current status of the structure. The historical information is not displayed by default in Structure Hierarchies and Attributes – STR3020, the historical information can be viewed by selecting the [Historical] button. When adding start or end dates, entering a date against a parent item will automatically populate the child items of the parent when you save. The start date of a child item must not be earlier than that of its parent item, likewise the end date of a child item must not be later than that of its parent item. Components of a structure should be closed if they are changed. For example, it is not sufficient to simply change the material of a parapet using Structure Hierarchies and Attributes – STR3020 if you do this you will not retain historical details. The parapet should be closed here and re entered with the new details. Type (Required) List

Enter a valid item type. Item (Display Only)

The item name will be displayed along with chevrons indicating the item’s position in the structure’s hierarchy. Seq (Required)

Enter a sequence number to determine the position of the structure item within the common parent. Start Date (Optional)

Enter the start date for this structure item. The date should be entered in the format of DD-MON-YYYY. End Date (Optional)

Enter the end date for this structure item. The data should be entered in the format of DD-MON-YYYY. If an end date is entered on a parent item, all children of that parent will have their end date set and will no longer appear in Structure Hierarchies and Attributes – STR3020. Items or complete structures can be made current again by removing the end date and saving the changes.



31

Create Structures from a Template - STR3010

Figure 29 Create Structures from a Template Menu Option

Figure 30

General Information

This form is used to create a new structure by copying a predefined template. To complete the full details of the structure, you will need to use Structure Hierarchies and Attributes – STR3020. It is worth noting that you can create a structure from a template, but you cannot create a template from a structure. Using templates will only create a structure with the relevant hierarchy, it does not add attribute values. To create a structure that is a copy of another existing structure use copy structure in Structure Hierarchies and Attributes – STR3020

Prerequisites

When using templates, you must have pre-defined your structure template using Templates – STR2040.




32

Template/Structure

This window is used to retrieve details of an existing template that you intend to use in building your structure. When you enter this window, the cursor sits in the Template Name field waiting for you to use [List] to obtain existing templates. Template Name (Required) List

Using List of Values, retrieve the required template. Description (Display Only)

A description of the selected template will be displayed. No of Spans (Display Only)

The number of spans contained in the template will be displayed. Structure Name (Required)

A unique structure name must be supplied for all new structures. No of Spans (Optional, Default)

If the number of spans in the selected template is ‘1’ you can create any number of spans on the new structure. This facility allows you to create a multiple span structure from a single span template. Each of the spans will contain the sub items as set up when creating the template. If the template contains more than one span, the structure may only contain that number of spans. The default value is the number of spans in the template. Once the structure has been created select the [Structure Details] button, this will take you directly to Structure Hierarchies and Attributes – STR3020 where the attribute details can now be entered.



33

Delete Structures - STR3030

Figure 31 Delete Structures Menu Option

Figure 32

General Information

This form is used to close a structure and its related attributes. Once closed the structure can only be viewed by selecting the [Historical] button within Structure Hierarchies and Attributes – STR3020. A structure can be unclosed by deleting the end date using Resequence Structures Hierarchies – STR3060 Structures cannot be closed if outstanding inspections exist. If outstanding inspections do exist on a structure that is to be closed go to Scheduled Inspections for a Structure – STR3072 and delete the outstanding inspections for the selected structure. If you wish to completely remove the structure from the system you must set the product option STRDELSTRS to 'Y'. When this option is set to 'Y', pressing the [Close Structure] button will delete the structure.

Bulk Initialisation of Attribute Values - STR3040

Figure 33 Bulk Initialisation Of Attribute Values Menu Option

Figure 34

General Information

This form is used to initialise the attribute values over the database based on a series of search criteria. For example, if a new attribute has been set up for an item and applies to 2000 structures you can use this facility to assign values to the complete database, or narrow the search down using the selection criteria. Otherwise you would have to go into each structure individually to assign details. The attribute will be assigned a value where there is currently no value.




36

Selection Criteria

Using the selection criteria, you can set up a very basic or a very complex set of criteria to which the attribute value will apply. When you enter this window, the cursor sits in the Admin Unit field waiting for you to enter a value. Use [List] or move to one of the other fields. Admin Unit (Optional) List

Enter the Admin Unit to which the structure belongs. Road Group Type (Optional) List

Enter a valid group type code, e.g. LINK. A description will be displayed in the adjacent field. Road Id (Optional) Gaz

Enter a valid group name associated with the selected group type, e.g. a linkcode (0900A1__1). Structure Type (Optional) List

Enter a code for the structure to which the item belongs, e.g. BRID. A description will be displayed in the adjacent field. Item Type (Optional) List

Enter the item type code that has the new attribute. A description will be displayed in the adjacent field. Attribute Type (Required) List

Enter the attribute code that you wish to assign a value. A description will be displayed in the adjacent field. Value (Required) List

CHAPTER

3 Inspections Management

This chapter describes the forms used in carrying out the inspections of structures within the structures by exor database. They are the following options:

Inspection Controls for a Structure - STR3022

Auto-Schedule Inspections - STR3070

Scheduled Inspections for a Structure - STR3072

Inspection Batches - STR3080

Inspection Records for a Structure - STR3086

Calculate Bridge Condition Indicators – The form descriptions provide you with detailed information about each Inspections Management form in structures by exor, including:

an overall description of the form.

a detailed explanation of each field, including available features (such as List of Values, default values and other characteristics).

helpful information for using the form or report.



61

Prerequisites

Before starting to inspect structures you should check that the Reference Data has been successfully loaded and that the inspectable components and attributes of the structure have been set up. In addition the following will have been set up: Inspection Sets – STR2068 Inspection Types – STR2060 Inspection Cycles – STR2062 Inspection Equipment – STR2064

Structure Locking

Structure locking stops users from changing a structure or its attributes and will occur for the two following reasons:

1. A structure or its attributes are currently being modified by another user. This structure will remain locked until the user that is modifying the structure commits it to the database. If you attempt to modify this structure you will receive the following error message:

ERROR: Structure currently locked by another user.

2. A structure has been downloaded onto a Data Capture Device

(DCD) for inspection purposes. If you attempt to modify this structure you will receive the following error message:

ERROR: Inspection in progress; cannot modify record.

When creating inspection batches, it is advisable to keep the duration of an inspection low, typically a week. This is due to structure locking while an inspection is taking place. If a 3-month batch was created, all the structures contained within that batch will be locked on the system until the inspection is uploaded back onto the system. This could cause problems in maintaining the structures. If you are intending to do inspections manually, it is still recommended that the inspection be downloaded into an inspection file. This will have the effect of locking the structures while the manual inspection is taking place. Another advantage of using the download function is that it will automatically print the required paperwork for the manual inspection. If the inspection is to be carried out manually, the data should be loaded onto the system via Inspection Records for a Structure – STR3086.

Inspecting with a Data Capture Device

General Information

If you are carrying out inspections using a Data Capture Device (DCD), you will need to create and load the following two files onto the DCD prior to carrying out any inspections:

1. Control Data file 2. Inspection file

The above files will be created on your workstation. These files will require re-naming and transferring onto a DCD via a PC. Inspection Files

The files created when using a DCD will reside in either your home directory or your reports directory. There is no automatic routine for the removal of these files. It is the responsibility of the System Administrator to backup these files if required, and remove them from the database.



64

Manual Inspections

General Information

If you wish to take advantage of structure locking when carrying out manual inspections, the following procedures must be carried out:

1. Download the inspection batch using Download Inspection Parameters – STR1002. This locks the structures.

2. Print the inspection batch using Profile of an Inspection – STR5015. 3. Carry out the inspections, filling in the details on the printout. 4. When the inspection is complete, upload the selected inspection batch

using Upload Inspection Details – STR1003. This unlocks the structures.

5. Enter the details of the inspection from the printout onto the system

using Inspection Records for a Structure – STR3086. Be sure to enter the date inspected, the inspector’s initials and comments.

Auto-Schedule Inspections - STR3070

Figure 49 Auto-Schedule Inspections Menu Option

Figure 50

General Information

This form allows you to automatically schedule the inspections of selected structures, over a period of time, e.g. inspection schedules could be set up for all bridges over the next 6 years. Once the criteria have been entered, the Auto Schedule button pressed, the inspection schedules will be created and can be viewed and modified using Scheduled Inspections for a Structure – STR3072. When calculating the schedule intervals, the auto-scheduler uses an implied inspection hierarchy. The inspection type with the longest interval implies all other inspection types (in a particular set) will be carried out at that time, e.g. a principal inspection automatically implies a general inspection and a general inspection automatically implies a superficial inspection has taken place. The auto-scheduler will take the inspection cycle date as the date that the last principal inspection was carried out, this ensures the inspections follow on correctly from a previous system or manual inspection.



70

The auto-scheduler can be re-run on any structure as often as required. However, a structure will be ignored, i.e. no inspections will be rescheduled, under the following circumstances:

If there is an existing inspection which has been manually created or amended and has a scheduled date within the selected period.

If there is an existing inspection that has been allocated to a batch and has a scheduled date within the selected period.

General Information

This form can be used in three ways:

1. Review inspection records that have been loaded from a DCD using Upload Inspection Records from DCD File – STR1003.

2. Manually enter the inspection records directly into this form. These inspection details should be associated with a previously scheduled inspection if there is one, or a new inspection record may be created here.

3. At the initial data entry stage, load historical inspections onto the system, inspections should be loaded chronologically when loading several inspections for a structure. The advantage of loading these inspections onto the system is that the auto-scheduling facility will take account of previous inspections when it comes to schedule the next set of inspections. Reporting on late inspections will also look at the previous inspections, therefore giving you better reports on inspections.

Inspectable Items

This window displays the inspectable items in one of two ways 1. The generic item description as set up using Inspection Types –

STR2060. 2. The actual item description as set up in Structure Hierarchies and

Attributes – STR3020 these will be displayed if the default items have been overridden using Inspection Controls for a Structure – STR3022.

A product option is available to validate the values entered in the Extent and Severity fields. To set the validation set the product option STRINSCOMB to 'Y'. To create duplicate inspection records for a selected item, position the cursor on the item followed by [Create Record], the relevant values can then be updated as required. No. (Required)

Enter a sequence number to order the display. Item (Display Only)

The inspectable items will be displayed. In order for each inspection line to be included in the BCI calculations, each Inspectable item must have an Extent and Severity Code entered against it. Sev (Optional) List

Enter the severity of the deterioration. Ext (Optional) List

Enter the extent at the deterioration. Def (Optional) List

Enter the defect code from the list available for the item type selected. Act (Optional) List

Enter the action to be taken. Pri (Optional) List

86

Enter an estimated cost for the repair. Comments (Optional) Edit

Enter any comments required. Use for CI? (Optional, Checkbox)

This checkbox indicates which items are to be used from this inspection for the condition indicator calculations. Use Result? (Optional, Checkbox)

If a previous inspection has been selected in the ‘Use Prev. Insp. Results’ field this checkbox indicates which items are to be used from the previous inspection. Default is null. If the inspector is happy with the existing values in the corresponding results fields in the selected row the checkbox should be ticked to accept the data. If the inspector makes a change of one or more values in the row for an inspectable item the checkbox will be ticked automatically.

Note: If the inspectable items from a previous inspection do not match the current inspection because: 1. it is a different inspection type. For example; a principal inspection

may inspect more items than a general inspection. In this case only those items that match will have values. Remaining items will be null.

2. the inspectable items have changed. Those items that match the previous inspection will have values. Those that do not have a match from the selected inspection will be null.

Each value for the inspectable item must be accepted by checking the box or amended. If any items remain unchecked when the record is saved a warning message will appear.

Calculate Bridge Condition Indicators - STR3001

Figure 69 Calculate Bridge Condition Indicators Menu Option

Figure 70

General Information

The bridge condition indicators for an individual bridge (BCI) or bridge stock (BSCI) are evaluated using the extent and severity values collected from inspection data. The types of inspections that qualify for inclusion in the calculations are selected using Inspection Types – STR2060. The main purpose of the condition indicators is to monitor the change in condition of individual bridges or a stock of bridges with time and determine if the maintenance funding provided has been adequate. The BCI can be calculated using different inspection dates and the data analysed to produce an overall trend for the bridge stock or an individual trend for a specific bridge. The overview of change in condition of a bridge stock can then be used as a high level strategic tool. Bridge managers can use the detailed breakdown of the condition of individual bridges for operational purposes.



90

Selection Criteria

The first step towards calculating the Bridge Condition Indicators is to define the ruleset, effective date used and which structures are to be included in the calculations. Ruleset (Required) List

Enter the Ruleset that is to be used in the BCI calculations. These rulesets are set up using Bridge Condition Reference Data – STR3002. Effective Date (Required)

The latest inspection results current at the effective date will be used in the calculation. Any elements that have not been inspected during the latest inspection will use results from the previous inspection as appropriate. Double-clicking in this field will enter today’s date. Structure Type (Optional) List

Enter the structure type or types are to be used for the BCI calculations. Using this option will return all structures of the type selected so the results may take some time to be displayed. The [Select] button will display the following window:

Figure 71 Select Structure Type

Select the structure types required followed by the [Select] button. The [Clear Selection] button will clear all selections, the [Select All] button will select all structure types.



91

Figure 72 Structure Types

Once the [Calculate Condition Indices] button has been selected those structure types selected will be displayed as shown displaying the following:

Structure Type

Size attribute used in the calculations, length, Area etc. These are set using Bridge Condition Reference Data – STR3002.

The sum of the size attribute used.

The BCI Average for the structure type

The BCI Criti for the structure type

The Asset Valuation Factor. This is set using Bridge Condition Reference Data – STR3002.

The Stock Condition Index Average for all selected structure types. This is a weighted average of all BCI Av values for the structures retrieved from the selected selection criteria.

The Stock Condition Index Crit for all selected structure types. This value is a weighted average of all BCI Crit values for the structures retrieved from the selected selection criteria.

The [Download to Excel] button will take the details displayed and download them to an excel spreadsheet. The [Show Structure Details] button will show the individual structures used in the calculations, this is detailed below. DART Query (Optional) List

The results from a previously created DART Query – STR7045 can be used as the selection criteria for selected structures. This is useful because a complex query can be written to either include or exclude structures of a certain type with selected elements or attributes. Structure Name (Optional) List

Enter an individual structure that is to be used for the BCI calculations. Once the Dart Query or structure name have been entered select the [Calculate Condition Indices] button to carry out the BCI calculations.

Running Reports

The majority of reports within highways by exor are accessed using a standard window called the Generic Reporting Interface (GRI). Whilst the selection criteria for each report will change from report to report, the way the reports are run, viewed and printed remains constant.

Below is an example of the Generic Reporting Interface.

The title of the report is displayed at the top of the window. There are three buttons down the left hand side, they are as follows:

Run report When the selection criteria have been entered, this will run the report and place the output in the report previewer.

Save Parameters The Parameters for reports that have to be constantly re-run or have complex selection criteria can be saved to a file and re-used. You will be prompted to enter a file name. Each user can have their own set of saved parameters.

Load Parameters Previously saved parameters for the selected report can be loaded directly into the GRI. You will be prompted to enter a file name, if you have a number of saved parameters, double clicking the field will result in a list of saved parameters being displayed.

Profile of an Inspection - STR5015

General Information

This form allows you to select a number of inspections based on a set of selection criteria. Full details of the selected inspections can then be printed. This report can be used in two ways:

1. Prior to and inspection. The printed output from this option is formatted so as to enable an inspection to take place without the use of a DCD. Blank fields allow the inspector to enter details of the inspection. Details of the inspection can then be entered onto the system using Inspection Records for a Structure – STR3086.

2. After an inspection. Once the data has been loaded onto the system, the report can be generated to give details of an inspection that has taken place.
