 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.
