No. 135302;[Final report] -- Appendix A: Fatal flaw results -- Appendix B: Preferred method criteria rankings -- [Fact sheet].ODOT's culvert database contains in excess of 83,000 culvert records, and ODOT needs to determine how best to use the culvert data to support cost-benefit decisions on appropriate replacement methods. Phase I (already completed) and Phase II (proposed) of this research will assist ODOT with implementing culvert replacement methods, and the cost-benefit analysis will be applied to the culvert database to assist with answering the following for ODOT: 1. What culverts in the database can be replaced by what method? 2. What was the process used to determine the replacement method? 3. What are the cost-benefits for each replacement methodology
