Book excerpt: LOAD RATING HIGHWAY BRIDGES In accordance with Load and Resistance Factor Rating Method First Edition The first comprehensive text introducing the background theory along with the practical procedure of load rating highway bridges with the state-of-the-art Load and Resistance Factor Rating (LRFR) method. With its simplicity and complete contents on this subject, this is an indispensable text for both students and practicing engineers. The safety of bridges is essential to the traveling public. To ensure that bridges in our highway system function safely and serve properly, engineers need to inspect and assess the live load carrying capacity of the bridges. Based on the results of inspection and evaluation, decisions are made on load restriction, repair, retrofit or replacement. Load rating, one of the critical tasks in this decision-making process, uses either an analytical method or non-destructive load testing to determine the live load carrying capacity of a bridge. This is a book solely concentrated on bridge load rating by using analytical load rating methods, with a focus on the LRFR method. The primary purpose of this book is to provide the basic concept of load rating highway bridges in terms of the LRFR method. The target readers are practicing engineers who want to acquire fundamental knowledge of the LRFR method. Bearing that in mind, the author attempts to strike a balance between theory and how-to. Engineers who are conducting or will perform load ratings of bridges can use this text as a reference in supplement to the AASHTO Manual for Bridge Evaluation (MBE). This book can also serve as a textbook or supplemental material for a senior level undergraduate or graduate course in bridge design and load rating. This text is divided into three major sections. The first section contains a brief introduction to bridge load rating (Chapter 1) and fundamentals of structural failure and structural reliability theory (Chapter 2). After completing this section, re

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An evaluation of the stress ranges in two typical highway bridge spans under service loadings was made in a cooperative study by the Virginia Highway Research Council and the Federal Highway Administration. The strains at selected points on the superstructure elements of the spans were recorded continuously for periods of four and five days under normal traffic conditions by means of an automatic, computer controlled data acquisition system, and converted to stress on the basis of assumed moduli of elasticity. The weights, axle spacings, and lateral positions by lane of trucks crossing the instrumented spans during the test periods were also recorded, to the degree possible. The study proved the feasibility of utilizing the data acquisition system, which was developed for the FHWA, to obtain an indication of the service life to be expected of the test structures under today's truck traffic. The magnitudes of the stress ranges measured in the two simply supported test spans, a 76 foot steel beam composite span and a 60 foot prestressed concrete beam span, were considered acceptable, and it was concluded that both structures could safely accommodate an increase in traffic volume under current load limitations. The stress ranges recorded in the prestressed concrete beam span were low, indicating that fatigue considerations may not be critical in the case of such relatively massive spans of moderate length. However, since fatigue life is a function of the number of loadings, which will increase, as well as the magnitude of the stress ranges, the experimental results were not interpreted as justifying an increase in allowable weight limits, particularly in the case of the steel beam span. A theoretical correlation between the recorded truck characteristics and the measured bridge response is also presented. While refinement of the analytical methodology is necessary to improve the correlation, the analysis, which is based on accepted theory, did serve to verify the magnitude of the experimentally obtained stress ranges.
