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.
