The aggregation of structure inventory and appraisal data collected by each state to fulfill NBIS is known as what?

• A. National Bridge Inventory (NBI)
• B. End Treatments
• C. Culvert Barrel
• D. National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS)

Answer: (A)

This item tests how states organize and report bridge data for NBIS. The aggregation of structure inventory and appraisal data collected by each state into a national pool is known as the National Bridge Inventory. It serves as the national database of bridge information and condition ratings that FHWA uses to monitor safety and produce nationwide summaries. End Treatments and Culvert Barrel are just components or features of bridges, not the data collection system, and National Bridge Inspection Standards refers to the inspection rules themselves, not the compiled dataset. So, the National Bridge Inventory is the collection that brings all state data together to fulfill NBIS.
