The application of load factor design principles to the design of truss bridges is illustrated. The recommendations presented were developed during preliminary design of Greater New Orleans Bridge No. 2 and were applied during final design. Significant savings in construction cost resulted. A specification format version of these recommendations is currently before the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials Subcommittee on Bridges and Structures for possible adoption as a "guide specification".
