The provisions of these Specifications are intended for the design, evaluation, and rehabilitation of both fixed and movable highway bridges. The design provisions of these Specifications employ the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methodology. The factors have been developed from the theory of reliability based on current statistical knowledge of loads and structural performance.
