AASHTO Model Drainage Manual

AASHTO Model Drainage Manual 3rd Edition The Model Drainage Manual compiles generic design policies and state-of-the practice design procedures, including example problems, in order to provide a foundation on which any Federal, State, or local agency can produce its own customized drainage policy and procedure manual.

AASHTO Model Drainage Manual Superseding all previous versions, the 2005 Edition of this Manual includes both Microsoft Word files and easily searchable Adobe PDF files for two manuals—one in U.S. Customary units and one in Metric (SI) units.

The AASHTO Task Force on Hydrology and Hydraulics, in cooperation with the FHWA Rural Technical Assistance Program (RTAP), has assisted in writing this AASHTO Model Drainage Manual This comprehensive drainage manual provides guidance on most aspects of highway drainage. Design theories, concepts, manuals, policies and procedures are condensed and written for use by the designer. Where appropriate, relevant existing AASHTO guidelines are given and/or referenced.

The AASHTO Model Drainage Manual has been developed to give the designer a basic working knowledge of hydrology and hydraulics complete with example problems. All basic design elements are included so that the designer can design highway drainage with minimal assistance.

The AASHTO Model Drainage Manual is organized in the following chapters:
(1) Introduction;
(2) Legal Aspects;
(3) Policy;

AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures

The AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures 1993 Provides approaches to pavement design including design and management principals, procedures for new construction or reconstruction, and procedures for rehabilitation of existing pavements AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures

Provides material on overlay design methodology and rehabilitation, including seven overlay procedures and associated options. Supersedes AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures 1986 edition of the same title.

Effective pavement design is one of the more important aspects of project design. The pavement is the portion of the highway which is most obvious to the motorist. The condition and adequacy of the highway is often judged by the smoothness or roughness of the pavement. Deficient pavement conditions can result in increased user costs and travel delays, braking and fuel consumption, vehicle maintenance repairs and probability of increased crashes.

This package includes a supplement to the AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures which includes alternative design procedures for use in place of or in conjunction with sections in the Guide describing Rigid Pavement Design and Rigid Pavement Joint Design

Table of contents AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures :
Part I - Pavement Design and Management Principles
Part II - Pavement Design Procedures For New Construction or Reconstruction
Part III - Pavement Design Procedures For Rehabilitation of Existing Pavements
Part IV - Mechanistic Empirical Design Procedures

Pavement Types, Definitions, and Abbreviations
Different types of pavement are commonly used in the construction ofroadways. There are three different types of pavement. These are:
- Flexible Pavement
- Rigid Pavement
- Composite Pavement
- Each of these pavement types is presented below.

Section 1: Introduction AASHTO Manual For Construction Evaluation Of Bridge
Section 1 contains introductory and background information on the maintenance inspection of bridges as well as definitions of general interest terms. aashto 2002

Section 2: Bridge Files (Records) AASHTO Manual For Construction Evaluation Of Bridge
Key components of a comprehensive bridge file are defined in Section 2. The record of each bridge in the file provides the foundation against which changes in physical condition can be measured.

Section 3: Bridge Management, AASHTO Manual For Construction Evaluation Of Bridge
Systems A bridge management system is an effective tool in allocating limited resources to bridge related activities. An overview of bridge management systems is included in Section 3 AASHTO Manual For Construction Evaluation Of Bridge

Section 4: Inspection
The types and frequency of field inspections are discussed in Section 4, as are specific inspection techniques and requirements.

Section 5: Material Testing
Conditions at a bridge site or the absence of information from original construction may warrant more elaborate material tests. Various testing methods are discussed in Section 5.

Section 6: Load Rating
Section 6 discusses the load rating of bridges and includes the Load and Resistance Factor (LRFR) method, the Load Factor (LFR) method and the Allowable Stress (ASR) method. No preference is placed on any rating method. The rating procedures presented for the LRFR method recognize a balance between safety and economics. In most cases, a lower target reliability than design has been chosen for load rating at the strength limit state. The LRFD calibration reported a target LRFD reliability index β of 3.5. The LRFR procedures adopt a reduced target reliability index of approximately 2.5 calibrated to past AASHTO operating level load rating. This value was chosen to reflect the reduced exposure period, consideration of site realities, and the economic considerations of rating versus design.
The methodology for the load and resistance factor rating of bridges is comprised of three distinct procedures:
1) design load rating, 2) legal load rating, and 3) permit load rating. The results of each procedure serve specific uses and also guide the need for further evaluations to verify bridge safety or serviceability.

Section 7: Fatigue Evaluation of
Steel Bridges The evaluation of existing steel bridges for fatigue is discussed in Section 7

Section 8: Nondestructive Load Testing
Load test procedures are described in Section 8. Load testing is the observation and measurement of the response of a bridge subjected to controlled and predetermined loadings without causing changes in the elastic response of the structure. Load tests can be used to verify both component and system performance under a known live load and provide an alternative evaluation methodology to analytically computing the load rating of a bridge. The successful application of the MBE is directly related to the organizational structure established by the bridge owner. Such an organization should be both effective and responsive so that the unique characteristics and special problems of individual bridges are considered in developing an appropriate inspection plan and load capacity determination

AASHTO Guide Specifications and Commentary for Vessel Collision Design of Highway Bridges

AASHTO Guide Specifications and Commentary for Vessel Collision Design of Highway Bridges 2nd Edition 2010 Interim Revisions This 2nd Edition of the Guide Specification was developed to incorporate lessons learned from the use of the original 1991 Vessel Collision Guide Specification; incorporate the current LRFD Bridge Design methodology; clarify some of the risk procedure elements; make minor modifications and corrections; and to discuss, and incorporate where deemed necessary, results from barge and ship collision research conducted since the original vessel collision publication.

AASHTO Guide Specifications and Commentary for Vessel Collision Design of Highway Bridges 2nd Edition 2010 Interim Revisions The use of the Guide Specification procedures to evaluate existing bridges has been highlighted in this revised edition, and a new worked example illustrating the vessel collision risk assessment procedures has been provided.
This edition developed in U.S. Customary Units.

AASHTO Guide Specifications and Commentary for Vessel Collision Design of Highway Bridges, The 1980 collapse of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge was a major turning point in awareness and increased concern about vessel collision and the safety of bridges crossing navigable waterways in the United States. Studies initiated as a result of this tragedy led to the 1988 pooled-fund research project sponsored by 11 states and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) which developed a proposed design code for use by bridge engineers in evaluating structures for vessel collision. This effort culminated in 1991 with the adoption by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) of the Guide Specification and Commentary for Vessel Collision Design of Highway Bridges (AASHTO, 1991).

The 1991 AASHTO Guide Specification established design provisions for bridges crossing navigable waterways to minimize their susceptibility to damage from vessel collisions. The provisions applied to both new bridges and to the analysis of existing bridges to determine vulnerability and potential retrofit. The intent of the AASHTO provisions is to provide bridge components with a “reasonable” resistance capacity against ship and barge collisions.

AASHTO Guide Specifications and Commentary for Vessel Collision Design of Highway Bridges 2nd Edition 2010 Interim Revisions In navigable waterway areas where collision by merchant vessels may be anticipated, the Guide Specification requires that bridge structures be designed to prevent collapse of the superstructure by considering the size and type of vessel fleet navigating the channel, available water depth, vessel speed, structure response, the risk of collision, and the operational classification of the bridge.
