Bridge Detailing Manual.pdf
Taken from definitions:
bridge - A bridge is a single span structure of over 20 feet, measured from face to face of
abutments, or multiple span structures of over 20 feet (including multiple box culverts,
measured between inside of end walls along the centerline of structure). Batteries of pipe
culverts, regardless of their length, are not bridges.
culverts - Culverts are those drainage structures not defined as bridges
highway underpass - A highway underpass is a grade separation where the subject (funding) highway passes under an intersecting highway (also called a Highway Undercrossing)
highway overpass - A highway overpass is a grade separation where the subject (funding) highway passes over an intersecting highway (also called a Highway Overcrossing)
railroad underpass - A railroad underpass is a grade separation where a highway passes
under an intersecting railroad (also called a Railroad Undercrossing)
railroad overpass - A railroad overpass is a grade separation where a highway passes over an intersecting railroad (also called a Railroad Overcrossing)
pedestrian underpass - A pedestrian underpass is a grade separation where a highway passes under an intersecting pedestrian walkway
stream crossing - A stream crossing is a location where the subject highway passes over an
intersecting waterway
Bridge Design Manual - LRFD.pdf
Taken from Implementation: Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) is a design methodology that makes use of load and resistance factors based on the known variability of applied loads and material properties. In 1994, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) published the first AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Bridge Design Specifications. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has mandated the use of LRFD for all bridges for which the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) initiates preliminary engineering after October 2007.
Hydraulic Design Manual.pdf
Taken from introduction: The hydraulic design or analysis of highway drainage facilities usually involves a general procedure that is essentially the same for each case. Some of the basic components inherent in the design or analysis of any highway drainage facility include data, surveys of existing characteristics, estimates of future characteristics, engineering design criteria, discharge estimates, structure requirements and constraints, and receiving facilities.
Time, expense, focus, and completeness of the design or analysis process should all be commensurate with the relative importance of the facility, that is, its cost, level of use, public safety, and similar factors. These aspects of the design process are often subjective. The funding or time constraints associated with any engineered project often are determining factors in the designer’s involvement.
