Development of Multimedia Resource and Short Courses for LRFR Rating

摘要

Multimedia technology is an important instrument in the training of graduate engineers. This multimedia package provides an exclusive background and an in-depth understanding of recent technological advances in the evaluation and rating of highway bridges. It gives guidelines and step-by-step illustrative examples using either hand calculation or VirtisTM software for the rating of different types of bridges according to the first edition of The Manual for Bridge Evaluation (2008). One advantage of the package is that it can be conveniently updated and modified to keep it useful for today's engineers.
