This workshop is an encore of the Fall 2014 workshop of the same name and is geared towards younger practicing members currently designing bridges for MassDOT. It will primarily focus on how to design bridge elements using Part I of the 2013 MassDOT LRFD Bridge Manual. The workshop is intended to provide an overview of the significance, and the rationale behind the changes including: new methods for dead load distribution, seismic design, bearing design, and integral abutment design. It will also include discussion on certain items that may be re-evaluated and modified for inclusion in future Bridge Manual revision(s), and the reasoning for those changes.

A morning and afternoon refreshment will be provided. Lunch will be the attendee’s responsibility.
