What is Load Rating? The safe live load carrying capacity of a highway structure is called its load rating. How to calculate the rating factor (RF) A1 = Factor for dead loads A2 = Factor for live load C = Capacity of the bridge D = Dead loads I = Impact loads L = Live loads Capacity for (L+I) RF = Actual (L + I) C – A1 * D RF = A2 * (L + I) Load Rating
Factors for LFR Load Rating Ref: AASHTO Manual for Condition Evaluation of Bridges 1994 Load Rating
Rating Factor Equation Inventory Rating C – A1 * D R.F. = A1 = 1.3 A2 = 2.167 = 1.3 * 1.67 A2 * (L + I) C – 1.3 * D R.F. = 1.3 * 1.67 * (L + I) C/1.3 – D R.F. = 1.67 * (L + I) Load Rating Seminar
Rating Factor Equation Operating Rating C – A1 * D R.F. = A1 = 1.3 A2 = 1.3 A2 * (L + I) C – 1.3 * D R.F. = 1.3 * (L + I) C/1.3 – D R.F. = (L + I) Load Rating Seminar
