2. Design Load Factor Design Method (LFD) Load and Resistance Factor
Methodology Method (LRFD)
Note: DGCS 2015 (under
CARDNO) is also based on
AASHTO LRFD Methodology
LFD vs. LRFD
Until the early 1970s, the sole design philosophy embedded within the AASHTO
Standard Specifications was known as working stress design (WSD). WSD
establishes allowable stresses as a fraction or percentage of a given materials
load-carrying capacity, and requires that calculated design stresses not exceed
those allowable stresses. Beginning in the early 1970s, WSD began to be adjusted
to reflect the variable predictability of certain load types, such as vehicular loads
and wind forces, through adjusting design factors, a design philosophy referred to
as load factor design (LFD). Both WSD and LFD are reflected in the current 17th
edition of the AASHTO Standard Specifications, 2002.
Bridge that must remain open to all traffic after the design
earthquake, i.e. 1000 year return period event.
8. Site Effects Considers four (4) soil profiles soil Considers three (3) soil profiles
Type I being rock white soil Type IV similar to JRA as defined by
being soft soil * characteristics value of ground .
Stiff soil condition where the soil depth is less than 60m and the soil
types overlying rock are stable deposits of sands, gravels, or stiff
clays.
SOIL PROFILE TYPE II
Profile with stiff clay or deep cohesionless soils conditions where the
soil depth exceeds 200 ft. (60m) and the soil types overlying rock are
stable deposits of sands, gravels, or stiff clays.
2. During the transition period, the LFD method (per AASHTO 2002
edition) currently being adopted by the Department can still be
used with the PGA map for 500-year return period developed
under the JICA study.
