Which item number corresponds to Substructure?

• A. 61
• B. 62
• C. 59
• D. 60

Answer: (D)

Substructure is the part of the bridge that stays below the deck and transfers loads into the ground. It includes foundations, piers, abutments, and bearing devices. On safety inspection tests, questions labeled as Substructure focus on these below-deck components rather than on the deck surface or the parts above the deck. So the correct item is the one whose content centers on foundations, piers/abutments, and bearings. The other items typically cover deck or superstructure elements, which is why they don’t fit Substructure.
