Reasons for Not Adopting • • • •

• •

Human nature. No perceived benefits. Unfamiliarity with LRFD methods. Lack of confidence in the computed results. Perceived errors and inconsistencies. A specification that did not reflect current design practices.

What is FHWA doing? • • • • •

Bridge Design examples. NHI LRFD Training Courses. FHWA Technical Assistance. FHWA/ NCHRP Calibration efforts. AASHTO Section 11 and 10 Revisions.

Future Enhancements Inclination Factors • Ignored by many practicing engineers • Based on small scale tests and theory • Effect of embedment (D ) f •

Resistance factors are for vertical load Q Df

Future Enhancements Nominal bearing resistance of rock • Very little guidance available • CSIR Rock Mass Rating System proposed • CSIR developed for tunnel design • Includes life safety considerations and therefore, margin of safety • May be conservative

Future Enhancements V HH Pile head fixity • Connection details • Effects of axial loads
