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.
