Load Rating Analysis

Load rating analysis is a process used to determine how much weight a structure, like a bridge or a building, can safely support. Engineers evaluate the materials, design, and condition of the structure to ensure it can handle current and future loads, such as vehicles, pedestrians, or equipment. By analyzing factors like material strength and wear, they establish maximum load limits to prevent damage or failure. This assessment helps in maintaining safety, planning maintenance, and updating usage guidelines to ensure the structure remains reliable over time.
