AASHTO LRFD Guide Specifications for Design of Pedestrian Bridges

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) released the 2^nd edition of its LRFD Guide Specifications for Design of Pedestrian Bridges.  These design specifications address the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) and construction of typical pedestrian bridges – defined as bridges designed for and intended to carry primarily pedestrians, bicyclists, equestrian riders, and light maintenance vehicles, but not designed and intended to carry typical highway traffic. Pedestrian bridges with cable supports or atypical structural systems are not specifically addressed in these design specifications.

The price for AASHTO members is $35, and for non-members, $42.
