Book Description
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) allows trucks that exceed their legal loads to cross bridges if they apply and are approved for a permit. More than 30,000 permits have been processed each year since 2002, providing a vital service to Michigan's economy. However, the permitting system must be robust enough to ensure that the safety of the motoring public is maintained by accounting for overload vehicles without unduly restricting commerce. Currently, structures are placed into Overload Class by checking all service limit states as identified by the 2005 MDOT Bridge Analysis Guide (BAG) with 2009 Interim Updates and the 2010 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Manual for Bridge Evaluation (MBE) with interims. Vehicles are placed into the Overload Class by comparing the maximum moments of the vehicle for span lengths between 15-ft to 160-ft to the moments produced by the 20 standard overload configurations provided by the BAG. Structures that do not pass an overload class would be marked as restricted and require a specific analysis, increasing the turn-around time for the client and the analysis cost incurred by MDOT. The current software used for the analysis of the structures is a simplified solution that was developed well over 20 years ago when more robust solutions were not feasible. With the capability of modern computing and the availability of bridge software solutions, this research project looks at solutions for updating the bridge analysis as well as the overall overload permit classification process.

Bridge Maintenance, Safety, Management, Life-Cycle Sustainability and Innovations
Author: Hiroshi Yokota
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000173755
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 926
Book Description
Bridge Maintenance, Safety, Management, Life-Cycle Sustainability and Innovations contains lectures and papers presented at the Tenth International Conference on Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management (IABMAS 2020), held in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, April 11–15, 2021. This volume consists of a book of extended abstracts and a USB card containing the full papers of 571 contributions presented at IABMAS 2020, including the T.Y. Lin Lecture, 9 Keynote Lectures, and 561 technical papers from 40 countries. The contributions presented at IABMAS 2020 deal with the state of the art as well as emerging concepts and innovative applications related to the main aspects of maintenance, safety, management, life-cycle sustainability and technological innovations of bridges. Major topics include: advanced bridge design, construction and maintenance approaches, safety, reliability and risk evaluation, life-cycle management, life-cycle sustainability, standardization, analytical models, bridge management systems, service life prediction, maintenance and management strategies, structural health monitoring, non-destructive testing and field testing, safety, resilience, robustness and redundancy, durability enhancement, repair and rehabilitation, fatigue and corrosion, extreme loads, and application of information and computer technology and artificial intelligence for bridges, among others. This volume provides both an up-to-date overview of the field of bridge engineering and significant contributions to the process of making more rational decisions on maintenance, safety, management, life-cycle sustainability and technological innovations of bridges for the purpose of enhancing the welfare of society. The Editors hope that these Proceedings will serve as a valuable reference to all concerned with bridge structure and infrastructure systems, including engineers, researchers, academics and students from all areas of bridge engineering.
