Designed various bridge components such as slabs, prestressed beams, steel WPG, abutments, piers, spread footings, and retaining walls using design programs. In addition, designed bridges with steel and prestressed concrete piles and evaluated load test data for friction piles. All design work followed the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications code, AASHTO Guide Specification for LRFD Seismic Bridge Design, PCI Bridge Design Manual, TDOT Structures Standards, and TDOT Structures Memoranda.Checked detailed drawings for bridge or retaining walls on various projects. Verified dimensions, elevations, and quantities were in conformance with design sketches.Reviewed Grant Bridge plans to see if consultants followed AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, TDOT Structures Standards, and other guidelines.Reviewed design calculations and drawings for various types of lighting and sign structures.Performed grade checks on new and existing bridges based on vertical and horizontal roadway geometry to verify clearances were sufficient. Drew preliminary bridge design layouts to determine proposed beam and bridge type in early stages of bridge planning.Prepared cost estimate for bridge projects in order to create bidding price point to ensure bridge projects stayed within budget.Followed required design codes and guidelines for the purpose of creating structures with safety being the upmost importance. Provided neat documents and easy to follow calculations for record keeping.Communicated with transportation engineers regarding roadway geometry, cross-section, profile, and alignment. Determined if grade changes were necessary. Evaluated options regarding type of structure and considered various construction methods with least amount of user, environmental, and financial impact.Corresponded with in-house geotechnical engineers to obtain foundation conditions. Calculated pile lengths for construction division.I-40/240 Award (September 2013)
