CALIBRATION OF LRFD BRIDGE DESIGN CODE

Andrzej S. Nowak

Open publisher page 297 citations

Abstract

This report presents the results of a study on the calculation of load and resistance factors for the AASHTO Bridge Design Specifications (1994). Information on various load models, and procedures for determining reliability indices, are included. The contents of this report will be of immediate interest to bridge and structural engineers, bridge researchers, and others interested in the development of the AASHTO LRFD design code and in probabilistic design methods.
