• Description:
  This Manual provides four design examples illustrating the application of the strut-and-tie method for a variety of structural configurations, including a simply-supported deep beam, a cantilever bent cap, an inverted-tee moment frame straddle bent cap, and a drilled shaft footing. Each design example is based on the 8th Edition of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. This Manual is intended for state DOT bridge and structures engineers and practicing bridge engineers who are responsible for concrete bridge design and evaluation. This Manual will serve as a reference and a guide for engineers of all levels, including designers, consultants, reviewers, maintenance engineers, management engineers, and load rating engineers. This document is part of a training program that also includes a one-and-a-half-day instructor-led training (ILT) course.
