Coding & SI&A MDOT SI&A Coding Guide
Current version August 26, 2009 Update to be released in 2012
Load Rating Items Item 41 – Structure Open/Posted/Closed Item 63 – Federal Operating Rating Method Item 64F – Federal Operating Rating Item 64MA – Michigan Operating Method Item 64MB – Michigan Operating Rating Item 64 MC – Michigan Operating Vehicle Item 65 – Federal Inventory Rating Method Item 66 – Federal Inventory Rating Item 70 – Bridge Posting Item 141 – Posted Loading Item 193 A & C – Overload Class
Coding & SI&A (Cont’d)
Item 41 – Structure Open/Posted/Closed
Coding & SI&A (Cont’d)
Item 63/65 – Operating/Inventory Method
Coding & SI&A (Cont’d)
Item 64F/66 – Operating/Inventory RatingCan be metric tons or rating factor
LRFR Rating MUST be rating factor
Must correspond with Item 63/65
Metric tons, not English.
Rating Factor of 1.0 = 32.4 mTons (not 36)
Minimum allowable is 2.7 mTons (or 3 english ton equivalent)If less, close the bridge, and record 0.00
If temporarily supported, must be coded for un-supported case (item 103 = T)
Record 99.9 if live load is negligible
Coding & SI&A (Cont’d)
Item 64MA – Michigan Operating Method
Coding & SI&A (Cont’d)
Item 64MB – Michigan Operating RatingCan be English tons or rating factor
Rating factor is preferred
Must correspond to item 64MA
Based on the lowest rating factor of the 28 Michigan Legal trucksNote: this is a change from past practice.
When rating factor is less than 1.0, bridge must be posted
Minimum allowable is 3 tonsIf less, close the bridge, and record 0.00
If temporarily supported, must be coded for un-supported case (item 103 = T)
Record 99.9 if live load is negligible

Item 64MC – Michigan Operating TruckTruck with lowest rating factor of 28 legal
trucks (Chapter 2 of BAG)

Item 70 – Bridge PostingIf 64MB is > 1.0, Item 70 = 5
Reflects Item 64MB NOT actual Posting
(Item 141)
Coding & SI&A (Cont’d)Item 141 – Posted Loading
Leave blank if structure not posted
Bridge must be posted if item 64MB < 1.0
4 Options for Posting – Includes 6 digits
Minimum posting is 3 Tons Gross

Optional for local agency use
Summary & Assumption SheetsPer AASHTO MBE 2.5.1.2:
“A general statement of the results of the analysis with note of which members were found to be weak, and any other modifying factors that were assumed in the analysis, should be given.”
Calculations must include:Analysis methodology
Assumptions
Factors that affect the rating (condition, unique loads)
Results – to include controlling members
MDOT MBIS/MBRS Summary and Assumption Sheets Meet these requirements
Summary & Assumption Sheets
As of July, 2012 MBIS eliminated access to load rating values in the SI&A screen

Coding Inconsistencies/FHWA Audit
2009 FHWA Audit, Final Report March 2010US DOT OIG audit 2006FHWA division Offices directed to perform in-depth reviews of state load rating and posting practices
Findings – Conditional ComplianceCurrent practices “are generally in compliance with NBIS and AASHTO requirements”.Many MDOT bridges in the database “may not be load rated in compliance with NBIS” and “as many as 2,900 bridge load ratings must be revised”.Many local agency bridges in the database may not be in compliance with NBIS “as many as 4,100 or more”.
Prioritization List
Tier 1 – No Rating – Due 12/31/2012 Nulls in load rating values
Item 63 or 65 = 5 (no rating)
Item 64f = 66
Tier 2 – Poor Condition – Due 12/31/2014 Deck, superstructure, substructure OR culvert
ratings equal to 4 or less AND
Deterioration indicator in MBIS equals “No”.
Prioritization List (Cont’d)
Tier 3 – Other Irregularities – Due 12/31/2016Built after 1993 AND ASR (Item 63 or 65 equal 2 or 7)
Built after 2010 AND not LRFR (Item 63 or 65 not equal to 3 or 8)
NHS bridge AND ASR (Item 63 or 65 equal 2 or 7)
Fed Operating is greater than 3X Fed Inventory (Item 64F > 3*Item 66)

Load Rating TroubleshootingIf an analysis yields low rating results AND the results are not consistent with
field observations (consider whether bridge has ever seen full legal load)…….
Review model & verify field conditions of structureAttempt to adjust distribution factors
