I-35 Bridge- Ethical Obligation

I-35 Bridge Ethical Case Study

Abstract

This case study is about a bridge in Minnesota that collapsed and resulted in the death of thirteen individuals and one hundred and forty-five more individuals were admitted to the hospital for injuries from the same incident. The incident took place on August 1st, 2007. The overcapacity due to the heavy traffic on the bridge during the time of collapse is considered the main cause of the collapse (NTSB). However, the investigators stated inattentive inspection and design error to be some of the other causes of the collapse. One of the gussets plates of the bridge had an uneven thickness which went unnoticed by officials during inspection; however, the accident could have been prevented if there had been more cooperation between the state of Minnesota and the engineering firm in coming up with a better design procedure and review which was noted by the investigation to be improper. The recommendation is that officials conduct a comprehensive inspection regularly, and the detected errors should be rectified by the officials immediately. The recommendation is referred to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). Adherence to comprehensive analysis and action to problems will help prevent similar future accidents. Moreover, this paper will detail means of preventing ethical failures related to decisions and emphasize the need to prioritize the wellbeing of citizens to the high maintenance cost to ensure at most safety in engineering structures. Therefore, improving the manual book and inspection course is important to maintain engineering structures.

Problem statement

The I-E35W Bridge collapsed under the pressure of heavy traffic in 2007, resulting in many injuries and deaths. Bridges are considered one of the best architectural accomplishments of the past century; bridges have become a fundamental part of society, especially when people are required to cross a place where it would be almost impossible without the bridge. Therefore, the collapse disaster of a bridge is a very critical issue for society. The collapse of the I-E35W was attributed to a lack of maintenance and structural deficiencies (NTSB). Despite the federal government marking the bridge as structurally deficient, the government still delayed its replacement until 2020. The ethical violation of bridge inspection can be attributed to the cause of the disaster.

Moreover, despite the risks of leaving the bridge operational, the bridge was not closed for public use due to underestimating the outcomes. Therefore the failures associated with this disaster should serve as a lesson to prevent future related disasters. Comprehensive inspection and correction of faults detected should always be adhered to to avoid such disasters.

Background

The I-35W Bridge, since its construction, has served as critical infrastructure for the people of Minneapolis. The bridge was developed as a link between Marcy-Holmes and the Downtown East neighborhoods of Minneapolis. The I-35 became one of the busiest bridges in Minnesota, with an average of over 140000 cars using the bridge daily (Bickal, Jim, and Sara). The bride accommodated the interstate highway 35W across the Mississippi River. According to witnesses and news stations, the bridge is reported to have collapsed during a rush hour in the evening, which resulted in 145 people being injured and 13 fatalities on August 1st, 2007 (Bickal, Jim and Sara). Moreover, the tragedy victims included car owners and construction workers who reportedly drowned; over 100 vehicles were also destroyed.

According to the investigation of The Federal Highway Administration, the Sverdrup & Parcel, an engineering construction company, constructed the I-35W Bridge in the early 1960s. The bridge construction under this case will be regarded in Division 1 of the Standard Specification for Highway Bridges (AASHO) (Holt& Hartman 05). After the completion of bridge construction in 1967, the firm was again taken by Jacob's Engineering Group in the ear 1999; the new management was then responsible for the inspection through the preparation of design documents and performing calculations for the bridge design. The main design for the bridge is a deck truss. This design adopts the truss located underneath the roadway to support the main infrastructure and the traffic. The I-35W Bridge had a center span that tied the two ends forming an expansion of up to 458 feet of steel arch. The little second foundation of the bridge was due to the river traffic below. To compensate for the little secondary foundation, the bridge was fortified with a continuous truss to equilibrate and balance the whole structure; this technique was applied due to its need for fewer parts. However, due to little redundancy, the bridge was categorized under the fracture critical bridge category; this implies that a failure of one part would incapacitate the whole structure (Wald). Despite the risks associated with the structure, it was still adopted due to its cheaper cost and lightweight. The NTSB attributed the cheaper cost of the bridge to incorporating only the necessary parts, which resulted in a cheap and efficient structure.

Engineering Failure

Investigations were performed after the incident to uncover and identify the cause of the tragic collapse. The lead investigators for the tragedy were the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and NTSB (Holt and Hartman 04). During the investigation, there was numerous hypothesis and speculations about the reason for the collapse. The investigators did a comprehensive review of the bridge since its construction in 1967. During the investigation, the investigation noted an unusual condition of the bridge due to MnDOT inspection. The bridge was recorded to function properly for seven years from 1983. However, at the start of the 1990s, the piece of architecture received a structurally deficient rating by MnDOT. The rating was contributed by bridge-bearing corrosion. The report from NTSB indicated a significant amount of corrosion and wearing down of the bridge, which increased the amount of the bridge collapsing by a significant margin.

Moreover, there was a prior inspection before the incident, which was carried out by URS Corporation- a contract-based construction, design, and engineering firm. The firm's duty was to document the design of the bridge; the form reported a compromised specification concerning the effectiveness of the bridge. Moreover, the firm recommended a number of retrofit projects for the bridge. However, most of the recommendations and judgments of the firm were declined. The engineer responsible for the bridge, Dorgan, argued that since the bearings of the bridge could not be replaced by engineers without incurring high costs as the whole bridge had to be elevated, and because the bearings were not reported to be sliding, therefore, he commented that the corrosion and URS corporation's report was a minor issue (Bickal, Jim and Sara).

Moreover, the cracks detected by MnDOT in 1997 were patched up by officials without appropriate maintenance and investigation (Kimball and Williamson). A department formed by the University of Michigan Civil Engineering was contracted to perform further investigations regarding the design and efficiency of the bridge. The investigations revealed the deck truss to have been overburdened. However, even after the investigation, engineers concluded that the government would not replace the bridge since the deck truss had no signs of cracking. Moreover, the FHWA did a review concerning the bridge in 2005. The review rated the bridge's structural stability as 50% effective. Despite a clear need for replacement noted by the state, the bridge was still considered operational, and officials took no action to close or warn against its use by the public (Bickal, Jim, and Sara).

Being among the state departments with jurisdictions to investigate and review the bridge's original design, the FHWA was able to perform an investigation that uncovered errors in the design of the gusset plate, specifically the U10 node. The investigation revealed that Sverdrup & Parcel and Associates failed to ensure correct quality control procedures and calculations of the gusset plate (NTSB). The investigation revealed that the U10 gusset plate's thickness was only a half-inch. Using other gusset plates for comparison, the report showed that other locations had a massive difference in thickness compared to the gusset plate. Moreover, there wasn't a credible reason for the thin gusset plate design, as the plate recommended thickness was not achieved in relation to the load it was supposed to carry (Holt and Hartman 08). The FHWA conducted more experiments; the tests involved measurement of efficiency design; the report noted that the design requirements for the U10 node were not required to support the bridge.

Moreover, a (D/C) capacity ratio was also the appropriate requirement for the U10 node. To the Federal Highway Administration, if the (D/C) ratio was found to be less than one, the design is termed conservative. However, if the same ratio was noted to be more than one, the design is considered liberal and would consequently need safety regulations. The investigation found the ratio of the U10 node to be more than one (Holt and Hartman 06). This revelation showed the fault in the calculations of the respective firm in measuring and calculating the correct load capacity. However, the NTSB report showed that inadequate design was just one of the causes that resulted in the bridge's collapse. Another factor noted as a result of the analysis was the poor state of the peak section of the structure. The NTSB reported that officials incorrectly assessed the bridge's weight. Being the duty of State Highway and Transportation, it failed to assess the bridge weight capacity accurately.

Moreover, the investigation noted a lack of gusset plate application in two instances- the National Highway Institute (a training course for bridge inspection) and the Reference Manual of the Bridge Inspector. It resulted in an incorrect assessment concerning capacity calculations of the bridge plates. Additionally, it failed to offer appropriate attention to distortions, including bowing the gusset plates during the bridge's inspections (NTSB). After reviewing the incident, both the FHWA and NTSB agreed that the main cause of the tragedy was a creaking gusset plate in the deck truss upper section. The gusset plates connected other trusses (Davey and Wald).

The collapse was attributed to the snapping of some of the plates held together with the gusset plate, which were overloaded by traffic and construction materials. Moreover, the collapse was also attributed to the bridge design's previous addition and renovation activities, which increased the weight of the bridge span (Wilber and Laris). The NTSB's report showed that the construction work on the bridge on the day of the catastrophe added dead weight to the bridge. Moreover, the bridge was filled with vehicles which were about 140000 passing over the bridge at the time of the incident. The heavy traffic and construction materials specifically located close to the south-side section at U10 nodes resulted in the snapping of the main gusset (NTSB, 2008).

Ethical Analysis

The best ethical framework that is applicable and able to analyze actions of MnDOT in relation to ethical lapse is Kantian ethics. This part will analyze how the Minnesota transport department is responsible for an ethical lapse through the analysis of the involved group's actions. The deontological framework focuses on the accepted moral actions based on certain defined moral rules ( Poel and Lamber). Immanuel Kant makes an argument in relation to deontology, insisting that the best framework is the categorical imperative that uses deontology principles. He further states that it is divided into two parts. The two parts are the reciprocity principle and the universality principle.

The universality principle focuses on the action which ought to evolve into a universal law based on a maxim; a maxim can be defined as a practical-based principle that dictates an action (Poel and Lamber). Applying this principle to this case study, it becomes evident that, being in charge of the structure, the MnDOT was unable to properly assess the structure's condition properly. The report conducted after the incident showed that they knew of the deck truss fatigue signs and cracks present in the bridge. Moreover, the report shows that despite knowing the condition of the bridge, they did not take any action to rectify the situation or warn the public. They assumed the problem. Based on this case, the maxim can be categorized as "Failing to follow small problems safety policy is acceptable." Based on this maxim, it is clear that it violates and contradicts the principle of universality.

Moreover, another violation of the categorical imperative by the MnDOT association is the reciprocity principle; this principle focuses on treating someone else in a moral and equal manner (Poel and Lamber). The reciprocity principle is of the argument that everyone should place it as their duty to respect the personal autonomy of other people by valuing everyone through the treatment of a person as an end instead of treating them as a means. Relating to this case, the MnDOT failed to provide further information to those who crossed the bridge. They purposefully engaged in acts of preventing the condition of the bridge from being known by the public. Consequently, they failed to provide a free option of choice to the bridge users on whether to use or not use the bridge. The reason for failing to provide knowledge of the bridge's condition to the public was to save on refinement costs. Based on the reciprocity principle, their actions are irresponsible and unethical because they risked the lives of many citizens.

Recommendation

Numerous means can be applied to prevent a similar incident to the one that happened to the I-35W Bridge. To assure maximum safety to other bridge structures, comprehensive inspections and immediate action to problems detected should always be performed. Moreover, personnel and officials in charge of such architectural structures as the I-35W Bridge should always ensure that they perform their duties diligently and critically analyze the conditions of the bridges they are in charge of to ensure that they can foresee disastrous situations. Therefore, they should make a critical and comprehensive analysis of the deck truss of their bridges. They should also not underestimate small problems such as loss of useless parts, a small crack, or even truss fatigue. Moreover, they should make it their moral duty to inform citizens of the bridge's condition. This is a reciprocity principle in relation to ethics.

In addition, the gusset plates of different bridges should be investigated to determine their efficiency as this was the main reason for the tragedy of the bridge, report revealed that overcapacity led to snapping of the plates. Moreover, the state should create a team to provide knowledge on inspector training and manual book. Creating such a program will help the inspectors remove any doubts and gain more knowledge on the observation of every element.

Conclusion

Numerous reports from news indicate that the bridge's collapse was among the most horrendous incidents in the United States due to the number of casualties and losses incurred as a result of the collapse. The accident resulted from assumptions and disregard for the standard maintenance procedures by the transportation officials and engineers. Furthermore, there was also a lack of enough training on the officials' manual book and course use. Regarding the problem, the officials and construction companies ought to be more responsible and cautious in adhering to ethical means of performing their tasks. Moreover, the officials should also be accorded proper education on manual book use and structural designs of bridges to ensure accurate assessments. Adhering to these guidelines will ensure that similar future tragedies are prevented.
