Transportation Research Record, 1983•trid.trb.orgThe application of load factor design principles to the design of truss bridges is illustrated.
The recommendations presented were developed during preliminary design of Greater New
Orleans Bridge No. 2 and were applied during final design. Significant savings in
construction cost resulted. A specification format version of these recommendations is
currently before the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials
Subcommittee on Bridges and Structures for possible adoption as a" guide …
