Rafael Armendariz, Mark Bowman
Open full text 5 citations
Abstract
The presentation will address the challenges of load rating bridges without plans and how a four-step procedure can be used to guide the engineer in determining bridge ratings for poorly documented bridges. The procedure is illustrated through the assessment of an earth-en-filled reinforced concrete arch bridge with no available bridge information.
