Abstract:

A design procedure for bridge substructure foundations and retaining walls, Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD), is documented in the Ontario Highway Bridge Design Code. Details of the procedure are given. Structural and geotechnical design procedures are similar and compatible. LRFD procedures help to clarify the calculation procedures used when soil and structure meet and interact. Few new technical problems result for the geotechnical engineer using LRFD; however, communication between geotechnical and structural engineers is essential to ensure that the serviceability limit and the ultimate limit are identified for structures designed using LRFD. The design process is described and evaluated. Issues relating to earth pressures, shallow and deep foundations, and code writing are discussed.
