Overview
Under NCHRP 20-07/Task 244, Modjeski and Masters led the research for preparing specifications and commentary for the design of pedestrian bridges in a load and resistance factor design (LRFD) format that could be recommended to AASHTO as a stand alone guide specification. The specifications are based on the AASHTO Guide Specifications for Design of Pedestrian Bridges, past successful experiences, and state-of-the-art research and knowledge.
