Book Synopsis Review of Load Rating and Posting Procedures and Requirements by : Mark Bowen
Download or read book Review of Load Rating and Posting Procedures and Requirements written by Mark Bowen and published by . This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All states are required to load rate and post bridges in order to comply with federal standards. Load ratings are performed in order to determine the safe live load capacity of a bridge, considering the existing conditions of the bridge. Based on the load ratings, the bridge is evaluated for load posting or strengthening. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) was notified that their practice for load rating and posting did not satisfy 23 CFR 650.313. The purpose of this study was to summarize and compare load rating and posting procedures used in other states and to provide recommendations and information necessary to modify the load rating and posting procedures in INDOT's Bridge Inspection Manual (Part 3: Load Rating) in order to satisfy 23 CFR 650.313.In order to understand how load rating and posting is performed in other states, department of transportation (DOT) manuals were examined, questionnaires were sent to states, and additional states of interest were surveyed. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) The Manual for Bridge Evaluation, Second Edition, which is the current specification for load rating and posting bridges was reviewed, as well as older AASHTO bridge evaluation manuals. Based on this information, revisions were proposed to the INDOT Bridge Inspection Manual (Part 3: Load Rating) in order to eliminate current deficiencies.

Book Synopsis Development of a Strategy to Address Load-posted Bridges Through Reduction in Uncertainty in Load Ratings by : Mary Beth Deisz Hueste
Download or read book Development of a Strategy to Address Load-posted Bridges Through Reduction in Uncertainty in Load Ratings written by Mary Beth Deisz Hueste and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the 2016 National Bridge Inventory data, the state of Texas houses over 2100 bridges posted at load levels below the legal limit. While load postings are generally a management issue, there can be commerce, traffic, and emergency egress issues. For this reason, removing postings is always of interest. Posted structures come in all shapes and sizes, were built in different eras and environments, and exhibit vastly different structural behaviors. As such, there is no clear-cut single solution for addressing the possibility of removing postings. In this study, strategies were developed to reduce uncertainty in load rating procedures in a safe and appropriate manner to potentially increase or remove the load postings of typical steel and concrete bridges. The first phase of the project focused on the detailed review and synthesis of the relevant literature, analysis of the load-posted bridge inventory in Texas, and conducting basic load rating analysis of selected typical bridge types to identify and examine controlling limit states and areas of opportunities that could lead to an increase or removal of load posting. This Volume 1 research report fully documents the state-of-the-practice and state-of-the-art on load rating of existing bridges, the review and synthesis of the bridge characteristics of load-posted bridges in Texas, and the basic load rating for selected representative bridges to identify the controlling limit states that likely lead to an increased operating load for these bridges.

Download or read book Development of a Strategy to Address Load-posted Bridges Through Reduction in Uncertainty in Load Ratings written by Mary Beth Deisz Hueste and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maintaining the functionality of the transportation infrastructure depends on the successful management of aging bridge assets. Departments of Transportation rely on the load rating process to evaluate the sufficiency of the bridge structures in their state, and post load restrictions if the capacity of a bridge does not meet the maximum load effect based on the current legal loads. Removing load postings is always of interest because there can be commerce, traffic, and emergency egress issues due to rerouting of vehicles. Posted structures come in various shapes and sizes, built in different eras and environments, and exhibit vastly different structural behaviors. As such, there is no clear-cut single solution for addressing the possibility of removing postings. In this study, strategies have been developed to reduce uncertainty in load rating procedure in a safe and appropriate manner to potentially increase or remove the load postings of typical steel and concrete bridges. The Volume 1 Report documents findings including a review of the state-of-the-practice and state-of-the-art for load rating existing bridges, a review and synthesis of the bridge characteristics of load posted bridges in Texas, and the basic load rating analysis conducted for selected representative bridges to identify the controlling limit states. The Volume 2 Report provides details of further study for typical bridges including refined analysis for more accurate prediction of load distribution, load testing, model updating and calibration, and refined load rating analysis. This Volume 3 Report provides specific recommendations for refined load rating analysis for the four selected bridges types, and provides detailed refined load rating examples for each bridge type. The effect of each refinement on the revised load ratings is evaluated, and the implications for potentially increasing the posted loads or removal of load posting are discussed.

Download or read book National Bridge Inspection Program written by Joseph W. Come and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides the results of an audit of the Fed. Hwy. Admin. (FHWA) to improve its oversight of states¿ bridge inspections, load ratings, and max. weight postings. FHWA should encourage states to use more detailed data to manage their bridge programs. Shortly after the I-35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis, MN on Aug. 1, 2007, killing 13 people, the Sec. of Transportation asked whether FHWA¿s Nat. Bridge Inspection Program delivered the highest level of bridge safety. Objectives for this audit were to evaluate FHWA¿s: (1) implementation of data-driven, risk-based oversight to target bridge safety risks most in need of attention, particularly those related to load ratings and postings; and (2) promotion of state use of bridge management systems.

Book Synopsis Bridge Inspection Practices by : George Hearn
Download or read book Bridge Inspection Practices written by George Hearn and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2007 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis reports bridge inspection practices in the United States and selected foreign countries. The synthesis is a collection of information on formal inspection practices of departments of transportation (DOTs). These are primarily visual inspections and they provide data to bridge registries and databases. For U.S. inspection practices, this synthesis reports on inspection personnel, inspection types, and inspection quality control and quality assurance. Staff titles and functions in inspection programs are reported, together with qualifications and training of personnel, formation of inspection teams, and assignment of teams to bridges. Inspection types are described in terms of their scope, methods, and intervals. Quality control and quality assurance programs are reviewed in terms of the procedures employed, staff involved, quality measurements obtained, and the use of quality findings in DOT inspection programs. Foreign practices are presented in the same organization of inspection personnel, types, and quality programs. Comparisons of U.S. and foreign inspection practices are included. Information was obtained from a questionnaire sent to U.S. state transportation departments, similar questionnaires modified individually for transportation agencies in selected foreign countries, and formal documents used by transportation departments and agencies. These documents primarily included bridge inspection manuals, inspection training manuals, and technical memoranda, but also included blank forms for inspections, DOTs job descriptions for inspectors, and descriptions of inspection training courses. Overall, this synthesis includes information from forty U.S. state transportation departments and from roads agencies in eight foreign nations (Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, and the United Kingdom). The synthesis also includes, in an appendix, information from a few provincial and municipal transport agencies in Canada.

This Volume 2 report documents further study for typical bridges, including refined analysis for more accurate prediction of load distribution, load testing, model updating and calibration, and refined load rating analysis. The load testing of the selected load-posted bridges, along with model updating and calibration based on the field measurements, is used to determine refined load ratings to compare with the basic load ratings. The results are reviewed with respect to the implications and opportunities for load rating these bridges and similar bridge structures to potentially increase the posted loads or remove the load restrictions.
