Peak load estimation using load research data
Peak load estimation is a critical element in utility decision making. An electric utility must construct, maintain, and operate equipment sufficient to meet the peak, or maximum demand level. Electric utilities have utilized several methods of analyzing energy consumption which have yielded …

Improved Load Distribution for Load Rating of Low-Fill Box Structures
… at shallow depths. Periodic evaluation of their load carrying capacities is required for load rating of the culvert by determining a rating factor (RF) or truck tonnage of a HS truck. The rating factor is defined as the capacity of the structure minus the dead load demand, and then divided by the …

The Effect of Load Stabilizer Selection on Load Shift Within Unit Loads
Research on unit load stability aids manufacturing facilities in selecting the most efficient load stabilizer when shipping their products to market. This study's objective was to compare the performance a variety of different commonly used load stabilizers to stretch hooding. Stretch hooding is a …

Load Testing Deteriorated Spans of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel for Load Rating Recommendations
… Virginia coast has taken its toll on the main load carrying girders. Concrete spalling has exposed prestressing strands within the girders allowing corrosion to spread. Some of the more damaged girders have prestressing strands that have completely severed due to the extensive corrosion. The …

Determining optimal load for a constant-load cycle ergometer test relative to isotonic leg strength
… 363±15, 413±19, 465±19, 520±21, and 460±41 for loads 6 to 10 % 1RM respectively. Similar results were reported for AP. The differences in PP for loads between 8 and 10 % 1RM were statistically different. Results show that PP varies based on loads of % 1RM and the optimal range is between 8 and …

Response of Wide Flange Steel Columns Subjected to Constant Axial Load and Lateral Blast Load
… flange steel columns subjected to constant axial loads and lateral blast loads was examined. The finite element program ABAQUS was used to model W8x40 sections with different slendernesses and boundary conditions. For the response calculations, a constant axial force was first applied to the …
