A critical task for a bridge inventory to be in a good state of repair is the knowledge of each bridge's capacity to safely carry live loads in its current condition. A load rating package must provide this information in an accurate, organized, and standardized report. The information contained in this report is used for several purposes:Has the capability to import to Bridge Load Rating Form.The templates may or may not be compatible with previous or future versions; therefore, the Load Rating Section cannot guarantee the templates will work with versions other than those listed. LRFR is a statistically-based, more accurate and defensible load rating than the previous method, now referred to as the Tier-1 Load Rating Procedures. http://www.drupalitalia.org/node/76660

ODOT bridges will use the Oregon-specific live load factors and all other bridges will use the re-calibrated national live load factors.

It must be used when inspecting any publicly owned, operated or maintained bridge or large culvert in New York State that is open to vehicular traffic. There are a small number of bridges that do not carry traffic but are routinely inspected and have their data entered into the New York State Bridge Inventory and Inspection System. This manual is also used when inspecting these non-mandated bridges. Bridge Section functions include reviewing consultant designs and providing assistance to the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council. The Bridge Section also performs biennial bridge inspections to insure safety for the traveling public in accordance with the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS), develops repair recommendations for existing bridges, performs load ratings, and determines load postings and closings of deficient bridges. Other responsibilities include the development, implementation, and operation of the Bridge Management System to provide system-wide condition analysis and reporting to support bridge-programming decisions.

I: Assessment and Verification by Load Testing I: Assessment and Verification by Load TestingThe rating process is described in AASHTO’s Manual for Bridge Evaluation, which permits ratings to be determined by allowable stress, load factor, or load and resistance factor methods, the latter of which is keyed to AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. These three rating methods may lead to differently rated capacities and posting limits for the same bridge, a situation that has serious implications with regard to public safety and the economic well-being of communities that may be affected by bridge postings or closures. This paper is the first of two papers that summarize a research program to develop improvements to the current bridge rating process using structural reliability methods. This paper appraises current bridge rating methods and summarizes a coordinated program of analysis and load testing of several bridges to support recommended improvements to the bridge rating process. The second paper presents the reliability basis for the recommended load rating and recommends specific improvements to current bridge rating methods in a format that is consistent with the load and resistance factor rating (LRFR) option in the Manual for Bridge Evaluation.

The purpose of this manual is to supplement the AASHTO manual with Hawaii-specific information. This basically refers to the inspector starting the inspection on the top of the bridge and then proceeding down to the bridge substructure. The AASHTO Manual for Evaluation of Bridges (MBE) published in 2008 provides a choice of load rating methods. MBE Section 6 Part A incorporates provisions specific to the Load and Resistance Factor Rating (LRFR) method developed to provide uniform reliability in bridge load ratings, load postings, and permit decisions. Part B provides safety criteria and procedures for the Allowable Stress and Load Factor methods of evaluation. While most bridge ratings continue to be performed using the Load Factor Rating (LFR) method, several states are currently making their transition to the LRFR methodology following the provisions contained in the 2008 AASHTO MBE. Bridges designed using the LRFD method should be load rated using LRFR for reporting to the National Bridge Inventory. https://1sis.com/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/162876f58835ff---Cain-and-abel-user-manual-pdf.pdf

The purpose of this course is to concentrate on the fundamentals of load rating highway bridges using the latest AASHTO Manual for Bridge Evaluation. The course will begin with an overview of the AASHTO MBE, load rating methods, and introduce the load and resistance factor philosophy for new bridge designs and for load rating of existing bridges. The LFR and LRFR approaches are broken down into their basic components and a detailed explanation is provided on how and why each component was developed. LFR and LRFR live load models, load factors, distribution factors, load combinations, and rating provisions for steel and concrete bridges will be reviewed. Posting and permitting procedures specific to each methodology will be described. Examples with detailed step-by-step explanations will be used to illustrate the LFR and LRFR rating procedures. Fatigue evaluation methods for steel bridges and load rating of bridges by load testing are additional topics included in this course that follow the requirements of Sections 7 and 8 of the AASHTO MBE. Participants will also be instructed on the use of refined methods of analysis in load ratings and permitting, and their potential benefits. www.cpfledlighting.com/userfiles/file/came-g4000-manual.pdf

Guidelines for bridge assessments, covering identifying deficiencies, developing strategies, and completing life cycle cost analysis, are in the following document: The determination of the load carrying capacities of the Province's bridges is a major ongoing activity, and the carrying out of consistent, thorough and properly documented bridge load evaluation results is an important factor in achieving results that maximize the load carrying capacities of the Province's bridges while maintaining an adequate level of safety. It is intended that this document will help facilitate the achievement of this goal. Higher order physicalAs a result, it takes moreIf the diode is forward biased substantially, Equation 1 can be simplified to a pure exponential, and then near room temperature we can deduce the 60 mV per decade rule, which says that Vf increases approximately 60 mV for every factor of 10 increase in Id. For many applications, it is desirable to have VBR be as large as possible. For other applications, such as voltage regulation, we require relatively low reverse breakdown voltages, such as 5 V or 9 V. For these applications, we use Zener diodes. The reverse characteristics of a typical Zener diode measured using ELVIS are shown in Figure 1. Furthermore, IS is a strong function of temperature. These effects will not be considered in this lab experiment. When Vin is less than zero, both I and Vout are approximately zero. In this case, Vout will never be negative, thus the AC voltage is said to be rectified. The resulting waveform will be only the top half of the input sine wave. However, to create what would be considered direct current, we will also need a capacitor. The filter capacitor is placed in parallel with the load resistance in a power supply. Its purpose is to filter out the voltage fluctuations in the rectified waveform. The red end is called the anode and the black end is called the cathode. It is easiest to remember that current flows from the positive to the negative terminal, or from red to black. Because LEDs are often clear, a different system is used. The long lead of an LED is a the positive one. This system is also used to identify the polarity of other components. For example, the longest lead of a polarized capacitor is also positive. Here we present design equations for the half-wave and full-wave bridge rectifier that you will build in the lab.PIV for half-wave rectifier is given by, while for a full-wave (bridge) rectifier it is given by. Find the ripple voltage, conduction time interval, and peak inverse voltage. Take screenshots for prelab report. Compare the results of your simulations with your calculated values. Note that the sample file contains two circuits. Either can be used. However, one of the circuits is connected to simulated versions of the instruments used throughout the rest of the lab. Have your GTA sign off on each part before proceeding to the next part. For example, consider the circuit shown in Figure 3. When the power supply is connected normally, both the green and yellow LEDs light up, indicating that current is flowing through them. However, when the power supply polarity is reversed, the red LEDs will turn on. In both cases, the yellow LEDs will illuminate. In order to make the circuit easier to understand, use the pin holes instead of wires to connect the red and green LEDs to one another. Set number of steps as 30. Click run. Right click on the plot to save the measured data for use in lab report. Take a screen shot. You should see a plot like one shown in Figure 5. First turn off power to the breadboard. Make the connections as shown in Figure 6.Set number of steps as 30. Click run. Right click on the plot to save the measured data for use in lab report. Take a screen shot. You should see a plot like one shown in Figure 7. Does breakdown occur abruptly? Compare your result with the 60 mV per decade rule. If you cannot find two current values in the linear region that are approximately a decade apart,Compare the corresponding voltage differences with 60 mV. Note that a log scale is used for the current axis to facilitate observation of the voltage swing required for a 10x change of current. To realize the 7.6 F capacitance, connect two 3.3 F and one 1 F capacitor together in parallel. 20k is a standard resistor. As the function generator is grounded, we must use a make a differential measurement of the voltage across the output. Make sure that the AI 1- terminal is not grounded. Measure the ripple voltage and conduction time interval for comparison with prelab calculation and simulation. Save a screenshot. A screenshot of the voltage across D1 is shown in Figure 11. Is the measurement consistent with theory and simulation. During what time interval is D2 on?We can remove this diode voltage loss using a so-called super diode shown below. You need to supply power, actually two powers, one positive, and the other. The rc4558 has two sets of inputs and outputs, or two channels. We will just use one set. This way, the output voltage of the rectifierThis schematic did not indicate where to take the output. It should be taken from the “-” input of the op-amp, which is connected to the load R. Take a screenshot. Describe an advantage of this circuit over the recitifer circuits built previously. In real-life application, the load is 5 series-connect 100W LED.The energy consumption is almost NIL, as the energy meter.These tools allow students, hobbyists, and professional engineers to design and analyze analog and digital systems before ever building a prototype. Online schematic capture lets hobbyists easily share and discuss their designs, while online circuit simulation allows for quick design iteration and accelerated learning about electronics.

Phasor solution method Powerlib Theory:- In half wave rectification of a sin gle-phase suppl y, either the p ositive or negative half of the AC wave is p assed, while the other h alf is blocked. Because only one half of the input waveform reaches the output, mean voltage is lower. Half-wave rectification requires a single diode in a single-phase supply, or three in a three-phase suppl y. Rectifiers yield a unidirectional but pulsating direct current; half -wave rectifiers produce f ar more ripple than full-wave r ectifiers, and much more filtering is needed t o eliminate harmonics of the AC frequency from the output.
