AASHTO Design & Load Rating (Steel Bridge example)

Purpose of the Training

The purpose of this training is to address how to perform design check and load rating in steel composite bridge. Attendees will gain understanding on how to access design check and load rating depending on geometry complexity and bridge types. We will also cover what would be the critical things to know to practice design and load rating in midasCivil. Finally, the trainer will explain how to review the result values and extract design check and load rating report per AASHTO LRFD and AASHTO LRFR.
