How did we get Here? – Origin & History
• Two Major historical events • Tacoma Narrows bridge Collapse on Nov 7th
1940 • Silver Bridge ; from Point Pleasant WV, and
Gallipolis Ohio over Ohio river collapse inGallipolis Ohio , over Ohio river , collapse in 1967.
• Prompted National concern for Bridge safety conditions and to the establishment of the National Bridge Inspection Standards ( NBIS)Inspection Standards ( NBIS)
Tacoma Narrows Bridge - 1940

Wh t’ L d R ti ?What’s Load Rating?
• Live Load carrying capacity of the Bridge y g p y g
Using as-built bridge plans
Information gathered from latest field Inspection
• Expressed in Rating Factors or in tonnage for a particularvehicle instead of the design approach of ‘satisfying limitvehicle instead of the design approach of satisfying limitstates’
• Superstructure Spans, primary components of the bridge andconnections shall be load rated until the governing
t i t bli h dcomponent is established
Load Rating Standards and RequirementsStandards
• AASHTO – Manual for Bridge Evaluation (MBE) –single national standards for load rating of highway b idbridges.
• Load rating requirements and reporting are specified in NBISN S

Member and condition data

Load Rating Methods in the MBE
• Allowable Stress Rating ( ASR)
• Load Factor Rating ( LFR)
• Load and Resistance Factor Rating (LRFR)
Load Rating Method: ASR
• Loads are at a working level.
C it i d d b f t f f t• Capacity is reduced by a factor of safety.
• Live Load is the HS20 truck or lane load, whichever governs.
Load Rating Method: LFR
A S h b d l d i h d• A Strength-based load rating method
• Uncalibrated code. Load factors were established based on engineering judgment (Unknown reliability)
• No guidance on adjusting load and resistance factors for changed uncertainty in loadings or member resistance.member resistance.
• Live Load is the HS20 truck or lane load, whichever governswhichever governs.
Load Rating Method: LRFR
li bili b d li i hil h• Reliability- based limit states philosophy.
• Use probabilistic method to derive load & resistance factors
• Uniform reliability in load ratings and load postings.
• Provide guidance on adjusting live load g j gfactors using site-specific traffic data.
Overview Of LRFR
Benefits of LRFR
• Reliability-based, limit states approach consistent
• Rating done at strength limit state and check for serviceability
• More easily adopts site specific i f ti hil i t i i ifinformation while maintaining uniform reliability.
CALIBRATION OF LIMIT STATES
• Only the Strength Limit State was calibratedy gbased upon structural reliability theory. Otherlimit states were calibrated to current practice
• Reliability indices of bridges designed by theStandard Specs ranged from 1.5 to 4.5
T li bili i d f l d f• Target reliability index of 3.5 was selected for
new designs.
• Design Reliability β = 3.5 ; 1 in 10,000 notionalfailure probability.
• For evaluation β =2 5 or a 1 in 100 notional• For evaluation β =2.5 or a 1 in 100 notionalfailure Probability.
LRFR GOAL : UNIFORM RELIABILITYLRFR GOAL : UNIFORM RELIABILITY
Effect of LRFD and LRFR Specspon Bridges
• More Reliable and Safer Bridges
• Increased Bridge LifeIncreased Bridge Life
• Meaningful Load Ratings!
