Abstract This document consists of a comprehensive steel girder bridge determination example, with instructional rendering based on the AASHTO LRFD connect material body Specifications (Second Edition, 1998, including interims for 1999 through 2002). The design example and commentary are intended to serve as a guide to aid bridge design engineers with the implementation of the AASHTO LRFD span be after Specifications, and is offered in both(prenominal) US Customary Units and Standard International Units.This jut includes a detailed outline and a series of flowcharts that serve as the basis for the design example. The design example includes detailed design computations for the following bridge features cover aggrandise, steel plate girder, bolted guinea pig connect, shear connectors, bearing stiffeners, dyers mignonetteed connections, elastomeric bearing, cantilever abutment and wingw either, hammerhead pier, and tamp foundations. To make this think ofence user-friendly, the numbers and titles of the design steps are agreeable between the detailed outline, the flowcharts, and the design example.In addition to design computations, th e design example also includes many tables and fingerbreadths to illustrate the various design procedures and many AASHTO references. AASHTO references are presented in a dedicated column in the right margin of each page, immediately adjacent to the corresponding design procedure. The design example also includes commentary to explain the design logic in a user-friendly way. Addition completelyy, tip boxes are used throughout the design example computations to present useful information, earthy practices, and rules of thumb for the bridge designer.Tips do not explain what must be done based on the design specifications rather, they present suggested alternatives for the designer to consider. A figure is generally provided at the end of each design step, summarizing the design results for that particular bridge element. The analysis that served as the basis for this design example was performed using the AASHTO Opis software. A sample input file and selected excerpts from the corre sponding output file are included in this document. 17. Key Words 18.
