This major step in improved bridge design and more accurate analysis is expected to lead to bridges exhibiting superior serviceability, enhanced long-term maintainability, and more uniform levels of safety. Based on the load-and-resistance factor design philosophy (LRFD), this book is the result of a five-year research effort under AASHTO’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 12-42. Since the 1st edition was published in 1994, the provisions have continued to be updated and improved based on continuing research and the experience of the user community. The new specifications have been systematically tested in trial designs in bridge design divisions of 14 AASHTO Member Departments. Supersedes the 2nd edition and its 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003 interims. U.S. (standard) version.
