Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges. Eleventh Edition

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 and 1969 revised editions. The present and eleventh edition constitutes a revision of the 1969 edition, including those changes adopted up through 1972. The vast amount of research and development in both steel and concrete structures practically dictates the necessity of revising the specifications every three or four years, and the 1973 edition is no exception in this trend. The present edition is presented in two Divisions, (I) Design and (II) Construction. Within the Design Division are the following sections: (1) General Features of Design; (2) Loads; (3) Distribution of Loads; (4) Substructures and Retaining Walls; (5) Concrete Design; (6) Prestressed Concrete; (7) Structural Steel Design; (8) Corrugated Metal and Structural Plate Pipes and Pipe-Arches; (9) Structural Plate Arches; 10) Timber Structures; (11) Load Capacity Rating of Existing Bridges; (12) Elastomeric Bearings; and (13) Steel Tunnel Liner Plates. Within the Construction Division are the following sections: (1) Excavation and Fill; (2) Sheet Piles; (3) Bearing Piles; (4) Concrete Masonry; (5) Reinforcement; (6) Ashlar Masonry; (7) Mortar Rubble Masonry; (8) Dry Rubble Masonry; (9) Brick Masonry; (10) Steel Structures Fabrication; (11) Bronze or Copper-Alloy Bearing and Expansion Plates; (12) Steel Grid Flooring; (13) Railings; (14) Painting Metal Structures; (15) Protection of Embankments and Slopes; (16) Concrete Cribbing; (17) Waterproofing; (18) Dampproofing; (19) Name Plates; (20) Timber Structures; (21) Preservative Treatments for Timber; (22) Timber Cribbing; (23) Construction and Installation of Corrugated Metal and Structural Plate Pipes, Pipe-Arches and Arches; (24) Wearing Surfaces; (25) Elastomeric Bearings; and (26) Construction of Tunnel Using Steel Tunnel Liner Plates.
