We need to do Load Rating for H-20 load for Cast-in-Place Post tensioned box Girder two-span continuous bridge. We have software called "WINBDS" that performs load rating check for only flexural load. I will appreciate if any of you could let me know if you have used software that performs Load Rating check for the Shear Load. Thanks a lot.

No I have not. H-20 sounds like too small a truck.

What kind of spans are you looking at? Shear rarely controls for medium and long spans. Usually greater than 50' and flexural will control.
