• Abstract:
  Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has implemented the new AASHTO ; LRFD provisions in the state specific LRFD design procedure (KDOT-LRFD). There ; have been some significant updates in new version of AASHTO-LRFD (2010), compared ; to previous versions of the code. Most of the existing bridges constructed before the ; new provisions, have been designed and constructed based on the old provisions. In ; the study reported here, these changes have been assessed against the latest pertinent ; research. Also, adequacy of the bridges designed and constructed based on the old code ; has been studied by analyzing several representative bridge columns from two main ; different categories.
