Preface

The AASHTO LRFD Movable Highway Bridge Design Specifications has the following eight sections:

Section 1 - General Provisions

Section 2 - Structural Design

Section 3 - Seismic Design

Section 4 - Vessel Collision Considerations

Section 5 - Mechanical Design Loads and Power Requirements

Section 6 - Mechanical Design

Section 7 - Hydraulic Design

Section 8 - Electrical Design

Tables of Contents precede each section. References are listed following each section. The system of units is System International (SI).

Equations, figures, and tables are denoted by their home article number and an extension, for example 1.2.3.4.5-1, but when they are referenced in their home article or its commentary they are identified only by the extension. For example, in Article 1.2.3.4.5, Equation 1.2.3.4.5-2, would simply be called "Equation 2" . When this equation is referenced anywhere else other that its home article, it is identified by its whole nomenclature, in other words, "Equation 1.2.3.4.5-2". The same convention applies to tables and figures.
