This document, the Bridge Inspector’s Reference Manual (BIRM), is a comprehensive reference manual on programs, procedures, and techniques for inspecting and evaluating a variety of in-service highway bridges. It was intended to replace the Bridge Inspector’s Reference Training Manual (BITM) 90 which was first published in 1991 to assist in training highway personnel for the new discipline of bridge safety inspection.
