Just received revisions to RIDOTs Load and Resistance Factor Rating (LRFR) guidelines which we use for our RIDOT bridge load ratings. The major change is the addition of six new permit trucks (RI-BP3, RI-BP4, SU4, SU5, SU6 and SU7). The down side to more permit trucks is of course the increase amount of work needed to satisfy the client. The up side is knowing that your client is satisfied with having a better grasp on which live load combinations certain structures can handle.
