Project Name Load Rating Assessment of Three Slab-Span Bridges

Project Number (if applicable) 1036194

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: The main objectives of this project are to: 1. Collect data from field testing to characterize the behavior (strains, deflections,
dynamic response) of the C-SLABS under a known truck load. 2. Further evaluate live load response and bridge capacity using a
refined method of numerical analysis validated using field test data. 3. Assess the impact of the measured and modeled live
load response on bridge behavior, permit load rating, and bridge capacity. 4. Contribute to the development of guidance
related to permit load rating these three C-SLAB structures. MnDOT staff did not have the time or enough personnel to carry out
research.
