The report can be organized into five major sections as shown in table 2. These include an Introduction, Data Collection, Data Analysis, Risk Analysis, and Summary and Conclusions sections. Each section can be subdivided into subsections depending on the site and the type of ~~~"[~ation being presented. This chapter describes each of the sections ,u includes suggestions on the type of information to be included. Introduction The principal features of the project are described in the Introduction. rhe Introduction is divided into three subsections in table 2, allowing for an Acknowledgment, Purpose of the Study, and a Project Description. More subsections may be added as needed. Acknowledgment In the Acknowledgment subsection, the agency conducting the study or for whom the study is being conducted, the contract number or the authority under which the study is being conducted, can be identified. Agencies and persons who contributed data used in the report should be acknowledged. The results of previous studies can be cited. Purpose The purpose of the study contains a statement about the information and analyses being furnished by the report. These might include references to the work, statement of a contract, or other agreement. Project Description Sufficient information should be included in a project description so that the reader might be informed of the location and scope of the project, where this bridge is to be built, how long and wide, how many lanes, and the approximate valley width. Location maps, plans and (or) aerial photographs may aid in describing the project. Data Collection Data are collected for use in specific computational procedures. Since data are expensive to collect, the investigator will probably want only those data needed to complete the study. These data and how they are collected are described in this section. They should, however, satisfy the techniques used in the data analyses. 14
