Load effects only
Purpose and Need
No current ODOT tool or procedures for rating steel box
girder bridges
Unique calculations for determining capacity
Additional load effects – torsional rigidity
Significant number of steel box girder bridges in Oregon
State and local bridges
Important structures / high ADT routes
Load ratings are required
Procedures require development for repeatable calculations
and future load ratings
Scope
Develop procedures for load rating steel box girder bridges
Determine applicable criteria for using these procedures
Develop Capacity and RF Worksheet (Excel)
Develop ODOT LRFR Manual chapter for steel box girders
Perform load rating calculations on 26 steel box girder bridges
