Abstract:This document is intended to act as a nonbinding “road map” of service life design concepts and methods for bridge owners and designers. The focus of the document is on North American design practice and references for application of service life design principles are provided for highway bridges composed of both concrete and steel. The document mainly concentrates on the voluntary guidelines within published works from the SHRP2 R19A project and the AASHTO Guide Specification for Service Life Design of Highway Bridges. Three chapters covering an introduction to service life design, the service life design process, and the different concepts of service life design make up the main body of the document, followed by a chapter with example problems. There are three example problems that follow the nonbinding AASHTO Guide Specification methodology, accompanied by a comparison to similar examples from previously published and nonbinding SHRP2 R19A documents.
