This manual is a guideline document. All provisions contained herein are subject to review and adjustment by the Structure Design Project Engineer (PE) with approval by the owner. In many provisions, the terms “must” and “shall,” are used. These provisions are intended to be used in the development of contract specifications. Other provisions use the terms “should,” “may,” and “recommended.” The term “should” indicates a strong preference for a given criterion. The term “may” indicates a criterion that is usable but other suitably documented, verified and authorized criterion may also be applied. The term “recommended” is used to give guidance based on past experiences. Structure Technical Policies (STPs) and Bridge Design Memos (BDMs) are referenced throughout this manual to supplement design specifications by addressing areas not covered; expanding requirements based on successful past practices; and implementing more recent innovations. These documents include and supersede policies and guidance from previous Memos to Designers (MTDs) and Bridge Design Aids (BDAs). Since STPs and BDMs are under development during the writing of this manual, they may not be available, in which case, the reader should refer to the corresponding MTD or BDA and coordinate with the appropriate technical specialist, if necessary. Lists of STPs and BDMs with corresponding MTDs and BDAs are maintained by the Office of State Bridge Engineer Support.
