Seventeenth Edition
Major changes and revisions to this edition are as follows:
1. The InterimSpecifications of 1997, 1998, 1999,2000,2001,2002 and 2003 have been
adoptedand are included.
2. Thecommentariesfrom1996through2000areprovidedand havebeencross-referenced
with each other, whereappropriate.
3. In 1997, Section 15, "TFEBearing Surface," Division I, was replaced by Section 14,
"Bearings."
4. In 1997,Section19,"Pot Bearings,"DivisionI, was replacedby Section14,"Bearings."
5. In1997,Section 20,"Disc Bearings,"DivisionI, wasreplacedby Section14,"Bearings."
6. In 2002, Section 16,"Steel Tunnel Liner Plates,"DivisionI, becameSection 15.
7. In 2002,Section17,"Soil-ReinforcedConcreteStructureInteractionSystems,"Division
I, becameSection 16.
8. In 2002,Section18,"Soil-ThermoplasticPipe InteractionSystems,"DivisionI, became
Section 17.
9. Anew companion CD-ROM with advance search featuresis included with each book.
10. The Federal Highway Administration and the States have established a goal that the
LRFD standards be used on all new bridge designs after 2007; only edits related to technical
errors in the seventeenthedition will be made hereafter. TheseStandard Specifications are ap-
plicable to new structure designs prior to 2007 and for the maintenance and rehabilitationof
existing structures.
5. INTRODUCTION
The compilationof these specifications began in 1921 with the organization of the
Committee on Bridges and Structures of the American Association of State Highway
Officials. During the period from 1921, until printed in 1931, the specifications were
gradually developed, and as the several divisions were approved from time to time,
they were made available in mimeographed form for use of the State Highway
Departmentsand other organizations.A complete specification was availablein 1926
and it was revised in 1928. Though not in printed form, the specifications were valu-
able to the bridgeengineeringprofession during the period of development.
The first edition of the Standard Specifications was published in 1931, and it was
followed by the 1935,1941, 1944,1949,1953,1957, 1961,1965,1969,1973,1977,
1983, 1989, 1992, and 1996 revised editions.The present seventeenth edition consti-
tutes a revision of the 1996 specifications, including those changes adopted since the
publicationof the sixteentheditionand those through 2002.
In the past, InterimSpecifications were usually published in the middle of the cal-
endar year, and a revised edition of this book was generally published every 4 years.
However, since theFederalHighwayAdministration and the States have established a
goal that the LRFD standardsbe used on all new bridge designs after 2007, only edits
related to technical errors in the seventeenth edition will be made hereafter. These
Standard Specifications are applicable to new structuredesigns prior to 2007 and for
the maintenance and rehabilitation of existing structures. Future revisions will have
the same status as standards of the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and are approved by at least two-thirds of the
Subcommittee on Bridges and Structures. These revisions are voted on by the
AssociationMemberDepartmentsprior to the publicationof a new editionof this book,
and if approvedby atleast two-thirdsof the members, they areincludedin a new edition
as standards of the Association. Members of the Associationare the 50 State Highway
or TransportationDepartments,the District of Columbia,and Puerto Rico. Each mem-
ber has one vote. The U.S. Departmentof Transportationis a nonvoting member.
Future revisions will be displayed on AASHTO's website via a link from the
title's bookcodelisting, HB-17,in theBookstoreof www.transportation.org. Ane-mail
notification will also be sent to previous purchasers notifying them that a revision is
availablefor download. Pleasecheck the site periodically to ensure that you have the
most up-to-date and accurateinformation.
The Standard Spec$cations for Highway Bridges are intended to serve as a stan-
dard or guide for the preparation of State specifications and for reference by bridge
engineers.
Primarily, the specifications set forth minimum requirements which are consistent
with current practice, and certain modifications may be necessary to suit local condi-
tions.They applyto ordinary highwaybridgesand supplementalspecificationsmay be
required for unusual types and for bridges with spans longer than 500 feet.
Specifications of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the
American Welding Society, the American Wood Preservers Association, and the
National Forest ProductsAssociation are referred to, or are recognized. Numerous re-
search bulletins are noted for references.
TheAmericanAssociationof StateHighway and Transportation Officials wishesto
expressits sincere appreciation to the above organizations, as well as to those univer-
sities and representativesof industry whose research efforts and consultations have
been most helpfulin continual improvement of these specifications.
Extensive references have been made to the Standard Spec@cations for
Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing also published by
AASHTO,including equivalent ASTM specifications which have been reproduced in
the Association's Standard Specifications by permission of the American Society for
Testing and Materials.
