Product Description
AASHTO GSDPB-2, LRFD Guide Specifications for the Design of Pedestrian Bridges, 2nd Edition (December 2009), addresses the design of pedestrian bridges intended to carry primarily pedestrians, bicyclists, equestrian riders, and light maintenance vehicles. Section 1 covers general provisions, including scope, manufacturer-designed systems, and collision mitigation, followed by the design philosophy. The loads section specifies pedestrian loading, vehicle and equestrian loads, wind load, fatigue load, and the application and combination of loads. Separate sections treat fatigue resistance and fracture, deflections, vibrations, and stability, including half-through trusses and steel twin I-girder and single tub girder systems. Type-specific provisions address arches, steel HSS members including detailing and tubular fracture critical members, and fiber reinforced polymer members. Bridges with cable supports or atypical structural systems are not specifically addressed. Bridge designers can apply the specifications to pedestrian bridge projects that do not carry typical highway traffic.
