Implementation of a Refined Shear Rating Methodology for Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has released a report that implements a screening tool and shear rating methodology for prestressed concrete girder bridges. This research was conducted in order to increase the shear rating of a prestressed concrete beam via a refined live load distribution factor, considering the location-based load distribution of each axle along the span.
