Damage Photos P A R T I I I This part of the field manual contains example damage photos that can be used to help rate the damage level for each element of the structure. Pictures are included for bridges, tunnels, culverts, walls, and overhead signs. Classification examples are provided for minor, moderate, and severe damage, when applicable. In some cases, there may not be photos of all three damage states. For these instances, some judgment will be required when selecting a damage rating.
