Abstract:Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has implemented the new AASHTO
LRFD provisions in the state specific LRFD design procedure (KDOT-LRFD). There
have been some significant updates in new version of AASHTO-LRFD (2010), compared
to previous versions of the code. Most of the existing bridges constructed before the
new provisions, have been designed and constructed based on the old provisions. In
the study reported here, these changes have been assessed against the latest pertinent
research. Also, adequacy of the bridges designed and constructed based on the old code
has been studied by analyzing several representative bridge columns from two main
different categories.
