The Bearing Capacity of Building Foundations describes the different ways of ultimate bearing capacity determination of building foundations. This four-chapter book considers the effect of a horizontal force acting on a foundation. It also examines a situation where, beneath the foundation level in the zone of influence of the foundation there are two layers of soil, including the case where the second, lower layer is formed by incompressible rock. A chapter explores the case where the subgrade consists of a number of heterogeneous strata of soil. The remaining chapters deal with the determination of the permissible load of a foundation and the safety factor, and also the contact stress in the foundation line, since this has a great influence on the dimensioning of foundation slabs. This book will prove useful to practicing civil engineers.

This report presents the results of an extensive study of design requirements for anchorage zone reinforcement for post-tensioned concrete girders. The study included a literature review, survey of current state of the art based on an extensive user survey, and a substantial number of physical tests to verify proposed design approaches. Major variables included various anchorage hardware types and degrees of confinement, various types of end anchorage applications (concentric, eccentric, inclined, curved, multiple and with end reactions or lateral post-tensioning), slab anchorages, intermediate anchorages (pocket, blister, and ribs), and diaphragm anchorages. Analytical approaches included strut-and-tie models, finite element analysis, and approximate equations. Correlation between analytical approaches and experimental results was excellent. The report includes recommended design and construction specifications suitable for inclusion in the AASHTO bridge specifications.

A State Department of Transportation's (DOT) ability to successfully manage and deliver its program is largely dependent on an ability to develop realistic estimates of project cost. Cost estimating involves not only the collection of relevant factors relating to the scope of a project and the cost of resources, but it also requires anticipating cost impacts that may occur due to changes in project scope, available resources, and national and global market conditions. This publication provides "practical" guidance that serves those charged with the development of DOT cost estimates and with the management of the estimating process. This guidebook has two parts. Part I focuses on key cost-estimate techniques and Part II focuses on cost management activities.

This broadly recognized national standard to design and construct bridges has been revised to be consistent with its companion, the recently updated AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Among the revisions are improved testing and acceptance criteria, updated material references, and recommended guidelines for construction loads. Included in this electronic edition are the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2016 Interim Revisions. Following each chapter the revisions are identified as well as linked throughout the entire book where available. See the "Interim Revisions 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014 2015 and 2016" sections for a complete list of changes to each section.

These guidelines address the design of movable highway bridges using the LRFD bridge design standards. The guidelines are in English units. This guide includes information on design of bridge spans, mechanical systems (motors, hydraulics, etc), electrical systems, and bridge protection systems. The guidelines also cover seismic analysis and vessel impact analysis. Several types of movable bridges as discussed, including Bascule span, Swing span, and Vertical Lift bridges.
