Abstract
The Kentucky Transportation Research Program (KTRP) was requested to obtain and review design, construction, and post construction documents relative to the long-span structure under KY 80 in Floyd County. Telephone and in-person contacts were made with various agency officials involved with the structure in an endeavor to collect pertinent data. Documents that were initially presented to KTRP staff were thoroughly reviewed and a draft report based upon information submitted was prepared. The draft report included a scenario relating to a probable sequence of events that could have been significant in the ultimate collapse of the structure.
Soon after distribution of the draft report and during the time of its review, additional information was forthcoming, and an Addendum was prepared and is included herein. Another probable cause of failure is included in the Addendum.
