Proposed AASHTO Manual for Bridge Evaluation Using LRFD Philosophy
A draft version of the Manual for Condition Evaluation and Load and Resistance Factor Rating of Highway Bridges has been compiled through National Cooperative Highway Research Program 12-46. The manual extends the Load and Resistance Factor approach to the evaluation of highway bridges in the United States. The objectives of bridge rating are different from the objectives of new bridge design resulting in the use of different combinations of limit states and reliability indices in evaluation. The draft manual proposes a system for bridge load rating and permit evaluation based on a uniform reliability index that uses site specific information to reduce the uncertainty in some of the evaluation variables. The primary goal of this project is to produce a practical evaluation manual that is consistent with the Load and Resistance Factor philosophy, is easy to understand and use, and will receive broad support for adoption and distribution by the AASHTO Subcommittee on Bridges and Structures.
