The manual covers a wide range of design factors and structural types: superimposed dead loads
The manual is a "living document" that the Bridges and Structures Division regularly reviews and amends to stay in line with modern research. Recent updates include:
: Includes criteria for seismic actions as accidental actions, site-dependent elastic response spectrums, and simplified criteria for low seismicity. Continuous Updates
