AASHTO Manual for Bridge Evaluation

AASHTO Manual for Bridge Evaluation 2nd Edition This manual has been developed to assist bridge owners by establishing inspection procedures and evaluation practices that meet the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS). The manual has been divided into eight Sections, with each Section representing a distinct phase of an overall bridge inspection and evaluation program.

This AASHTO Manual for Bridge Evaluation replaces both the 1998 AASHTO Manual for Condition Evaluation of Bridges and the 2003 AASHTO Guide Manual for Condition Evaluation and Load and Resistance Factor Rating (LRFR) of Highway Bridges. It also supersedes the AASHTO Manual for Bridge Evaluation 1st Edition with Interims. It serves as a single standard for the evaluation of highway bridges of all types.

AASHTO Guide Specifications for Highway Construction

AASHTO Guide Specifications for Highway Construction 9th Edition The Guide Specifications for Highway Construction provide guidance for the development of highway contract specifications and are intended to complement the LRFD specifications for major structures and bridges.

This ninth edition AASHTO Guide Specifications for Highway Construction includes several new sections—Sections 312 through 315 address additional base course options; Sections 716 through 718 address materials requirements for aluminum, timber, and ground anchors; and Appendixes A and B provide sample technical provisions and considerations for use with innovative contracting methods and pavement ride quality measurement.

This AASHTO Guide Specifications for Highway Construction update of the 1998 edition expands the number of cross-references and provides uniformity of nomenclature, materials, construction requirements, and methods of measurement and payment.

This is the ninth edition of the AASHTO Guide Specifications for Highway Construction. These specifications have been developed by the AASHTO Subcommittee on Construction and are intended to complement the specifications for major structures and bridges, which are covered by the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Construction Specifications.

This edition includes four significant changes to these guide specifications. First, in order to reinforce and clarify the meanings of terms for readers, uniform terminology is used consistently throughout the specifications. Secondly, elimination of redundant language results in the deletion of some sections and an increased number of cross-references among the remaining sections. Also, the AASHTO and ASTM references within the guide specifications have been updated.

Finally, this AASHTO Guide Specifications for Highway Construction includes several new sections—Sections 312 through 315 address additional base course options; Sections 716 through 718 address materials requirements for aluminum, timber, and ground anchors; and Appendixes A and B provide sample technical provisions and considerations for use with innovative contracting methods and pavement ride quality measurement.

The many differences in climate, geology, geography, customs, statutes, and regulations make a national construction specification practically impossible. However, to provide for easier cross referencing from state to state or with other agencies, this guide provides uniformity of nomenclature, format, methods of measurement, basis of payment, and method of tests. The guide specifications provide the specification writer with information and topics to be covered and expounded on in a detailed project construction specification.

The guide specifications divisions are subdivided into Description, Materials, Construction Requirements, Method of Measurement, and Basis of Payment. Items shown in brackets, such as [50], throughout the guide specifications are suggested values and should be changed, when necessary, to meet the requirements of the various agencies or project conditions.

AASHTO Highway Drainage Guidelines, Foreword

The Highway Subcommittee on Design, as part of its charge, prepares and keeps current publications pertaining to principles, methods, and procedures of roadway design, including practices to protect and to enhance the quality of the environment. As the subject of highway drainage is important to many disciplines and many phases of highway engineering, the Subcommittee requested and received approval from the Standing Committee on Highways to establish a task force to prepare needed publications on the subject of highway drainage.

Consequently, the Task Force on Hydrology and Hydraulics was established and first met in February 1970, developed a statement of purpose, and outlined a program of activity. The purpose of the Task Force is to assist the Subcommittee in developing guidelines and in formulating policy for highway disciplines, giving due consideration to safety and the environment.

AASHTO Highway Drainage Guidelines Pursuant to this purpose, the Task Force on Hydrology and Hydraulics began the preparation of guidelines covering topics on major areas of highway hydraulic design. To the extent practicable, each Guideline is a stand-alone volume, but reference to other guidelines in the series is utilized to avoid unnecessary repetition. Since these Guidelines are intended to provide an overview, discussion, and design philosophy for each of the covered topics, technical information is kept to a minimum by making reference to appropriate publications and to the AASHTO Model Drainage Manual which contains recommended design policy, criteria, procedures, aids and example problems.
