Abstract:

A 1987 Transportation Research Board study concluded that the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' (AASHTO) Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges contained gaps and inconsistencies, and did not utilize the latest design philosophy and knowledge. In response, AASHTO adopted the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Specification in 1994 and the Load and Resistance Factor Rating (LRFR) Guide Specification in 2002.
