Title: Implementation Status of Geotechnical Load and Resistance Factor Design in State Departments of Transportation
Accession Number: 01132458
Record Type: Monograph
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The Transportation Research Board’s Foundations of Bridges and Other Structures Committee invited several state structural and geotechnical engineers to participate in a workshop at the 2008 TRB Annual Meeting. The objective of this workshop was to present various states’ experiences in the practical implementation of the AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method in geotechnical and substructure design. Both geotechnical and structural perspectives were included. Presentations included case histories of actual implementation of LRFD for a bridge project and state experiences with implementation of LRFD into everyday design of substructures from a policy and procedure point of view. This circular presents summaries of four state department of transportation presentations given at that workshop. It is hoped that the experiences presented in this circular may be beneficial to agencies still working through their own LRFD implementation efforts.
