BRIDGE DESIGN MANUAL

Unless otherwise noted, the design values, policies, practices, etc. that are established in this Manual are considered guidelines to promote uniform, safe and sound designs for bridges and structures in the State of Ohio. Deviation from these guidelines does not require formal approval from the Department; however, during the normal staged review process, the appointing authority may require the design agency to justify or otherwise seek recommendation from the Office of Structural Engineering when deviation is necessary.

The user of this Manual should be fully familiar with the AASHTO Standard Design Specifications For Highway Bridges including all issued Interim Specifications, the ODOT Construction and Material Specifications, and Office of Structural Engineering Standard Drawings and Design Data Sheets, along with the contents of this Manual.

The practicability of construction should be considered with reference to each detail of design. This applies particularly as new ideas are considered.
Where complete description or instruction is not provided in the Construction and Material Specifications, the description or instruction should be shown on the plans, but care should be taken to insure clarity both from a structural and contractual viewpoint.
