AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. This manual is the base bridge design manual that all DOTs use across the US. Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH), crash testing criteria for safety hardware devices for use on highways; it updates and replaces NCHRP Report 350. In addition to its publications, AASHTO performs or cooperates in ...
AASHO Road Test was a set of experiments carried out by the AASHTO from 1956 to 1961. [4] Unlike the PSR, which was a ride quality rating that required a panel of observers to ride in a car over the pavement of interest, the PSI does not require a panel of experts. Therefore, it was a more practical approach for large-scale pavement networks.
The fifth edition of HCM 2010 was the culmination of a multiagency effort—including TRB, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and Federal Highway Administration—over many years to meet the changing analytical needs and to provide contemporary evaluation tools.
Highway designs in the US are subject to the AASHTO specifications, [4] [6] but the text does not contain specific procedures and recommendations. [2] Railway bridges are built according to the "Manual for Railway Engineering" [ 12 ] published by the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA).
An Interstate Highway under construction , with both directions of traffic moved to one side of the roadway I-94 in Michigan, showing examples of non-interchange overpass signage in median, upcoming exit signage on right shoulder, a pre-1960 overpass with height restriction signage, newly installed cable median barrier, and parallel grooved ...

A "bridge sufficiency rating" is calculated, which is based 55% on the structural evaluation, 30% on the obsolescence of its design, and 15% on its importance to the public. As of 2008, a score of 80 or less is required for federal repair funding or 50 or less for federal replacement funding.
Highway engineering (also known as roadway engineering and street engineering) is a professional engineering discipline branching from the civil engineering subdiscipline of transportation engineering that involves the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of roads, highways, streets, bridges, and tunnels to ensure safe and effective transportation of people and goods.
