- Requirements for foundations, retaining structures, and soil-structure interaction
- Specifications addressing load distribution, fatigue, seismic considerations, and strength evaluation
- Commentary and notes incorporating interim revisions through 2003
- References to supporting standards from AASHTO, ASTM, AWS, and others
- Applicable to rehabilitation, legacy design validation, and maintenance planning for non-LRFD bridges
Who It’s For:
A critical reference for bridge engineers, transportation officials, and contractors working with legacy structures or evaluating designs developed before the transition to LRFD.
