Abstract:

The project “Assessment of ODOT Culvert Load Rating Spreadsheets for use in Michigan” was

a short time-frame project funded by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT)

through the Center for Structural Durability (CSD) at Michigan Tech. The objective of the

project was to assess existing spreadsheets developed by the Ohio Department of Transportation

(ODOT) for performing load rating calculations on corrugated metal pipe culverts using both

Load Factor Rating (LFR) and Load and Resistance Factor Rating (LRFR) methods. The

spreadsheets were assessed for their adherence to reference guides and then modified as required

to function with Michigan legal and overload truck descriptions. The project did not investigate

the suitability of the technical process used in the ODOT spreadsheets to produce reasonable

load rating calculations. Significant structural and programing changes to the spreadsheets were

considered outside the project scope. Details on the work performed for this project are

described in the following sections of the report.
