AASHTO LRFD Specifications for Concrete Bridge
Design
Friday, May 25, 2007
8:00am - 5:00pm
Skokie, Ill.
The focus of this seminar is the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications
including the latest revisions. Emphasis will be placed on the unified
method of design for reinforced and prestressed concrete, shear
design utilizing modified compression field theory and strut-and-tie
modeling. Design examples for deck design, pier cap design and precast,
prestressed concrete girder design highlighting the key steps in
LRFD will also be presented.
Why Attend?
Beginning October 2007, all bridges receiving federal funding must
be designed using AASHTO’s LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.
This seminar will provide an understanding of the background of
the LRFD specifications, an overview of the state-of-the-art design
procedures, and design examples that will help you in applying the
latest provisions.
