Consider structural
slab thickness for
rating: Check this box
if the structural slab
thickness should be
used to compute
section properties for
rating. If this box is not
checked, the rating
will use section
properties computed
from the total deck
thickness.
Factor Override: None selected. Factor Override allows you to override the System Defaults
library factors with a set of factors that have been entered for this bridge only. Factor overrides
will remain when files are imported into future versions of Virtis. Unless factors specific to the
bridge are required, overrides are not recommended as they can prevent updates to System
Defaults in future versions (e.g., legal load SHV factors in the MBE).

VERSION 6.2 57
SIMPLE SPAN REINFORCED CONCRETE SLAB BRIDGE INPUT: VERSION 6.2
A bridge can have several unique bridge alternatives. Each bridge alternative must include the
entire bridge but can consist of a different layout of superstructures. The number of spans, the
span lengths, and the pier locations are defined within the bridge alternative (and its
accompanying windows). Entering different bridge alternatives can be useful when comparing
various alternatives for a preliminary study.
BRIDGE ALTERNATIVES permits the user to determine which spans to include in an analysis.
For example, the user can decide to include only AS-BUILT Span A&C in the analysis and
exclude AS-BUILT Span B. The rating summary will then only have results from Span A&C
rather than comparing Span A&C to Span B. Typically however, every span inputted will be
included in a BRIDGE ALTERNATIVE.

The second page of the rating form provides space for assumption and comments. Some
common assumptions and comments are for material strengths, which plan was used, wearing
surface thicknesses, and any deterioration or other changes applied to the structure.
If the current inspection report indicates that there is deterioration, the user will have to create
an IR (inspection report) structure in addition to the AS-BUILT within Virtis. For simple span
reinforced concrete slabs, the typical deterioration that warrants an IR structure is section loss
to the longitudinal reinforcement.

1. Reinforced concrete slabs and slab bridges designed in conformance with AASHTO specifications may
be considered satisfactory for shear. Also, shear need not be checked for design and legal load ratings of
concrete members. Therefore, shear will be ignored for this rating example. The concrete slab will be
rated for moment and the flexural capacity will be taken from the Virtis program.
Flexural Capacity
To find the capacity:
Cflex 259.14 kip ft 1. After analyzing the desired beam, highlight the MEMBER
ALTERNATIVE of interest. For the example, the interior slab in Span
A&C controlled the ratings.
