Shear Reserve Factors Table

Generate a table summarizing the structural adequacy and reserve factors for the shear resistance of the members based on the assessment checks for ULS.

From the Main Menu select Rating > Bridge Rating Design > CS454/19 > PSC Bridge > Assessment Result Tables > Shear Reserve Factors Table

Element:  Element ID

Part:  The i- or j-end of the element, giving the Node ID at that end in square brackets [Node ID]

Rating Case:  The relevant Load Combinations for Assessment. Assessment check is performed for 12 sets of concurrent forces for each load combination.

RA*:  Assessment Resistance.

S*:  Assessment load effects due to a SV or SOV, STGO or SO vehicle.

SD*:  Assessment load effects due to dead and superimposed dead loads.

SST*:  Assessment load effects due to associated standard vehicle (ALL model 2).

SA*:   Assessment load effects

A:  Structural Adequacy – calculated as the assessment resistance over the assessment load effects (RA*/SA*).

Psi:  Reserve Factor against a special vehicle load model (BD86) with the associated standard vehicle loading (ALL model 2). The symbol hyphen (-) is shown when the shear directions are different between resistance and shear force due to special vehicle.

Psi*:  Reserve Factor against a special vehicle load model (BD86) without the associated standard vehicle loading (ALL model 2). The symbol hyphen (-) is shown when the shear directions are different between resistance and shear force due to special vehicle.

Check:  An overall indication whether the section passed all checks and is OK or Not Good (NG)
