6 LOAD RATING METHODS Level I: Approximate method for live load distribution analysis Simple; Limited to common bridge types and HS family of trucks; Conservative for most bridges Level II: Finite Element Model increase the live load distribution factor accuracy Level III: Non-destructive Test actual response of an existing structure accounting for design details, construction deviation, deterioration, damage, repair, and current environmental and operational condition Limitation for current load rating methods: Predefined live loads, which were developed from the limited traffic data, may not represent the site-specific live load condition Level IV: Reliability based load rating Site-specific traffic from weight-in-motion system (WIM) Site-specific bridge response from structural health monitoring system (SHM) Reliability analysis 6

24 RESPONSE-BASED RATING BENEFITS The rating is for the actual observed loads and load distribution. The rating accounts for the in-situ truck multi-presence and live load impact implicitly. The rating is based on the actual bridge behavior, including the secondary member and nonstructural element effects. The rating considers the actual bridge conditions, such as boundary conditions, the actual damage conditions and structural damage if it exists, such as concrete cracks and section loss. The method can reduce the effort and assumptions needed for finite element modeling RF = ε R γ DL ε DL γ LL ε LL_max = ε LL_all γ LL ε LL_max λ LL T = ε LL_max t = T max ε 1, ε 2, ε n 1.0 ε = M ES Projection factor 24

29 METHOD ADVANTAGE 1. Utilizes the site-specific ambient traffic instead of the pre-defined trucks. 2. The measurement of structure element in-service responses directly to represent the actual bridge response under ambient live loads in order to reduce the uncertainties in modeling, dynamic factors, and live load distribution factors. 3. This research makes use of reliability analysis to derive the site-specific LRFR live load factors. 4. Different projection methods have been investigated, and one method is recommended for maximum live load and maximum strain projection. 5. Long term data provide the accuracy 6. Site-specific material 7. FE modeling and calibration for future rating 29
