Risk based framework for culvert evaluation/load rating

This project includes: (1) development of a risk-based framework for culvert structural evaluation, (2) determination of key factors affecting risk, (3) proposed target reliability and associated load and resistance factors (LRFD) for different risk levels, (4) data needs and sources for full LRFD calibration, and (5) implementation strategy that allows for qualitative approach (now) and calibrated approach.
