Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	616 Ryan Griffith Agency	Y Approve	I would be in favor of trying this on a few projects as long as it met all standards and requirements.		Sep 27, 2019	2488
KYTC	198 Bart Asher Agency	Y Approve	I recommend to approve this for experimental use (Phase IV). The designer shall be required to load rate the completed structure in accordance with the current edition of the MBE, AASHTO LRFR, current edition, and the Bridge Maintenance Procedures Manual. A list of the required rating trucks must be obtained from the Division of Maintenance/Bridge Maintenance Branch. Ratings shall be performed on all required trucks and must be included in the design calculations. The designer will also supply the Cabinet data for an equivalent I section for future load ratings. All costs to perform these ratings are incidental to the structure. The structure must be designed in accordance with the Current Edition of AASHTO and the KYTC Bridge Design Manual and any Transmittal Memorandum (Located on the Division of Structural Design Web Site). The Pennsylvania Specifications may not be applicable to Kentucky.	On any bridges that the Folded Steel Plate Girder System is used, the girders will be designed in accordance with the latest AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Manual, KYTC Bridge Design Manual, and will be designed to provide adequate load ratings for the required trucks as provided by the Division of Maintenance/Bridge Maintenance Branch. An equivalent I-Girder section is provided on the FSPG Standard Drawings for each girder size/shape for future load ratings. Where required, the specifications will be modified to meet Kentucky requirements.	Aug 13, 2019	2434
KYTC	528 Wesley Glass Agency	U Undecided	Experimental application in the proper location would seem appropriate but defer any recommendation to Design.		Jul 30, 2019	2417
