Developed by the AASHTO Committee on Bridges and Structures, these specifications employ Load and Resistance Factor Design or LRFD methodology, using factors developed from current statistical knowledge of loads and structural performance.
The 10th edition includes updates to almost all sections of the specifications, with extensive revisions made to Section 5, Concrete Structures; Section 6, Steel Structures; and Section 3, Loads and Load Factors, which includes information on new risk-targeted design response spectra.
