Load Distribution per AASHTO |
H15/HS15 | H20/HS20 |
| Normal to Bearing Bars (1-1/4" per ton of axle load plus twice the bearing bar spacings) (inches) | 15" + 2A | 20" + 2A |

Notes: •Heavy Duty Riveted Grating designed in accordance with AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges. •A=Inside Face to Inside Face of Bearing Bars •It is recommended that bearing bars be placed parallel to traffic. If the engineer specifies placement perpendicular to traffic, measures should be taken to minimize the effects of out-of-place bending of bars due to vehicle acceleration and braking. •The engineer must specify hold down anchors at ends and supports as necessary. |
