New LRFD Design and Analysis Software for Reinforced Concrete Slab Bridges

This paper describes how the bridge engineering profession is consistently shifting its bridge analytical methodologies to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Bridge Specifications. The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute has developed analytical software – called SLAB BRIDGE DESIGNER 2.0 – based on the LRFD Bridge Specifications to further aid in the design of reinforced concrete slab bridges. This technical paper illustrates typical reinforced concrete slab bridge designs, and describes the input, computational methodology, and output of SLAB BRIDGE DESIGNER 2.0.
