Development of Multimedia Resource and Short Courses for LRFD Design

摘要

The main goal of the LRFD multimedia package is to provide a practical introduction and an indepth understanding of the new technological advances in the designing of bridges. This package can be used to train engineers, architects, designers, and personnel who are in charge of the design, construction, maintenance, and reconstruction of bridges because it is a self-training, time-saving tool. The complete package includes instructions of how to design concrete, steel and prestressed concrete bridges with AASHTO load and resistance factor design recommendations and specifications and six examples from which the user can have a generic overview of the design process.
