SurveyResults – Notable Items Several states reporting concrete culverts
not rating well (yet no distress observed) Seven states are using ODOT’s metal
corrugated spreadsheet Large fill heights often present a problem
– culverts fail under DL (shouldn’t be a load rating issue)
AASHTOWare BrDR used by many states for culvert rating
Several states use BRASS

OBJECTIVE and SCOPE
ObjectiveUsing CANDE, investigate influence of pavement stiffness on load-rating factor RF due to in-plane load spreading. (Out-of-plane load spreading is not considered in this study.)
Scope1. Pavement conditions:
● None● Modest (thickness = 8”, modulus = 200,000 psi)● Heavy (thickness = 12”, modulus = 1,000,000 psi)
2. Vehicle classes: (moving)● HL93 Design truck (72 kips, 3 axles, 14’ heavy-axle spacing)● HL93 Tandem truck (58 kips, 3 axles, 4’ heavy-axle spacing)
3. Culvert installations (6’ diameter, 2’ soil cover):● Reinforce concrete● Corrugated steel● Plastic profile pipe
