Abstract:This implementation project created CULVLR: Culvert Load Rating, Version 1.0.0, a Windows®-based desktop application software package that automates the process by which Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) engineers and their consultants perform load rating calculations for reinforced concrete box culverts. Based on TxDOT’s Culvert Rating Guide, the tasks associated with this project included programming the culvert rating process, software testing, creation of Help files, creation of the Install program, and beta testing. CULVLR is structured to accept reinforced box culvert input parameters in a manner typical of TxDOT design standards. The program uses these inputs to generate capacities for each critical section of the culvert structure. The load rater can select either Level 1 (CULV5) or Level 3 (RISA-3D) structural analysis software to generate demand loads, and CULVLR calculates load rating factors based on the calculated capacities and demands. Reporting functions allow the load rater to print summary, standard, or comprehensive reports.
