• Abstract:
  These guidelines were developed as part of a comprehensive research program undertaken by the Missouri Department of ; Transportation (MoDOT) to reduce costs associated with design and construction of bridge foundations while maintaining appropriate ; levels of safety for the traveling public. ; The guidelines were established from a combination of existing MoDOT Engineering Policy Guide (EPG) documents, from the 4th ; Edition of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications with 2009 Interim Revisions, and from results of the research program. ; Some provisions of the guidelines represent substantial changes to current practice to reflect advancements made possible from results ; of the research program. Other provisions were left essentially unchanged, or were revised to reflect incremental changes in practice, ; because research was not performed to address those provisions. Some provisions reflect rational starting points based on judgment ; and past experience from which further improvements can be based. All of the provisions should be considered as “living documents” ; subject to further revision and refinement as additional knowledge and experience is gained with the respective provisions. A number ; of specific opportunities for improvement are provided in the commentary that accompanies the guidelines.
