Curved Steel Composite Load Rating
Hands-on Training

Westin Great Southern Columbus | 310 S. High Street | Columbus, OH 43215
Overview

When it comes to load rating curved steel composite girder bridges, the challenge isn’t always about the code — it’s about the tools. AASHTOWare BrR is a trusted go-to for standard geometry, but once you move into complex curvature or non-standard geometry, its limits start to show.

There are workarounds — multiple tools, manual checks — but what if you could use a solution built to align with AASHTOWare standards and designed specifically to handle LRFR for complex bridge geometries?

This hands-on seminar walks you through exactly that — the full load rating process using midas Civil NX. From model setup to rating output, you’ll learn how to tackle real-world bridge configurations with clarity and control.

With all DoT vehicle types preloaded, and features tailored to streamline compliance and reporting, you’ll eliminate manual entry and accelerate your workflow.

Whether you’re rating for maintenance, permitting, or validation, this training delivers the tools and confidence to rate even the most advanced structures — accurately, efficiently, and fully code-aligned.
