(http: Outline o LRFR or Steel Bridges General AASHTO LRFR Rating or steel truss bridges Rating or steel line girders Rating or reined steel bridge analysis Rating actors or steel girder bridges Basic Rating Factor Equation or the LRFR Method C DW P LL DW P L C RF DW DW PP LL( 1 IM ) L is the structural capacity (= c s R; c: condition, s: system) is the dead-load eect o structural components and attachments is the dead-load eect o wearing suraces and utilities is the permanent loading other than dead loads is the live-load eect IM is the dynamic load allowance is the load actor or structural components and attachments is the LRFD load actor or wearing suraces and utilities is the load actor or permanent loads other than dead loads is the evaluation live-load actor Probabilistic Design and Evaluation Analysis used BIAS CO AASHTO S/D AASHTO LRFD AASHTO Reined Field Test 1.0 4

2 Federal Bridge Formula B (FBF B) Permit* load FEDERAL TRUCK WEIGHT LIMITS FOUR BASIC FEDERAL WEIGHT LIMITS APPLY: SINGLE AXLE (20,000 #) TANDEM AXLE (34,000 #) BRIDGE FORMULA B GROSS EHICLE WEIGHT (80,000 #) ONLY SEEN STATES APPLY THESE LIMITS STATEWIDE WITHOUT MODIFICATION. OTHER STATES ALLOW TRUCKS EXCEEDING THESE LIMITS UNDER THE GRANDFATHER PROISIONS. Any vehicle or combination o loads having a gross weight in excess o 40 tons (or 80 kips). * = Permits are also required or over-sized vehicles. But, or the purposes o load rating, we are reerring to permits that are required due to over-weight only. Superload 1) DESIGN LOAD RATING (HL-93) 2) LEGAL LOAD RATING (POSTING) Any vehicle or combination o loads having a gross weight in excess o 60 tons (or 120 kips). 3) PERMIT LOAD RATING (OERWEIGHT TRUCKS) IM = 33% Is Standard. Following alues are Optional: Legal Load rating Riding surace conditions: smooth IM = 10%; minor surace irregularities IM = 20%; major surace irregularities IM = 33% Permits same, except or: slow moving (< 5mph) vehicles IM = 0%

5 Line Girder (Approximate) Analysis Method Assumptions: Single line girder Eective lange width(shear lag) Since 2008, eective width b e = tritary width b (AASHTO Art ) Live load distrition actor Live load inluence line Line Girder Modeling AASHTO LRFD live load distrition actor design equations or shear and moment is recommended or rating. Assumed constant deck width, parallel beams with about the same stiness Developed or design trucks Developed to bound within that structural type Limited ranges o applicability. (When exceeded, the LRFD speciications mandate reined analysis.) Line girder Inluence Lines or Moment & Shear Moment Special Permit Review using Reined Analysis Reined analysis o Special Permits allows the input o dierent trucks and live load actors in each lane. Appropriate adjacent live load and permit load actors or use in reined analysis (Strength II Limit State) Shear

DESCUS-I Negative Moment Inluence Surace Components o Normal Stresses AASHTO combined stresses due to warping with lateral loads to call it lateral bending stress
