MCEB 6.7.6 Longitudinal Loads states that "The rating of bridge members to include the...
I'm working on some bridge load ratings and am not sure how to apply wind load and longitudinal load in the Rating Factor equation.
I'm thinking the longitudinal braking force would be applied to the live load only at Operating level. And the wind load would be added to the dead load since the...
