  3. RTAG MEMBERS

  4. Report submitted to BrDR TF in November 2013 • Report has 25 recommendation to improve the reports • TF asked the contractor to review the recommendations and prepare estimates • The Baker (contractor) submitted their responses and estimates (some) to the TF in June 2014 RTAG Update (Since RaDbug 2013)

  5. RTAG Recommendations • Naming convention for the reports be made standardized & meaningful. • Provide a list of all reports with short introduction in the help menu. • Provide option to include the name of the rater and the date of report generated in the report header.

  6. Show Bridge ID/Bridge Alternate/Structure ID/Structure Alternate in the report header • Control Options & default values used in the analysis should be shown & labeled accordingly in the reports • Create a summary report of load ratings of all current and existing “Bridge Alternates.” • 1-2 pages concise rating summary report.

  7. A comprehensive report to re-create a bridge data file without going through bridge plans. • The reports generated in the BrDR programs should display which elements of the bridge had been checked • List dead loads in separate columns (e.g., DC & DW should be in separate columns).

  8. List deflections due to parts of dead and live loads separately • List live load alone and L+I load moments and shears separately. List impact factor on all reports that include impact of the live load • Live load forces should be clearly labeled if they are distributed or not distributed.

  9. Provide a list of report parts at one place to create a la carte reports (“smart reports”). Provide a report tab listing all the reports. • Provide separate Spec Check Reports of passed and failed checks. Hyperlinks are good & recommended. • Provide all essential cross-section properties at critical points

  10. Summarize moments/shear/axial forces for various components • Option to upload a logo file (jpg/png/gif) in the report header • Enhance truss reports • Give option to generate output reports in the PDF format at member and bridge levels • Some headers and other formatting of the XML reports are needed to be revised

  11. Include wind data in Substructure Design output report • Include eccentricity with the girder reactions in the Substructure • Provide moment, shear and axial force tables for all members of the culvert analyzed • Detailed/comprehensive reports at BE level. Modify the Bridge Rating Results report at BE level to include location of controlling rating factors & limit state.

  12. Contractor Recommendations 3 categories • Estimated • Recommended for Modernization • Scope Required

  13. Modernization Meeting in Baker’s Office, Pittsburgh, PA, from July 29-31, 2014 • Brainstorming of the modernization ideas • Review of the Enhancement Bucket Lists • Review of the User Interface • All Report Enhancements will be rolled into the Modernization RTAG Update
