How to use this resource

These calculators focus on the key AASHTO LRFD bridge topics—load combinations, girder design, slabs, bearings, and substructure checks—so you can pick the model that matches your stage in the structural workflow.

Review the assumptions for each tool, rely on jurisdictional design values, and double-check any fatigue or stiffness inputs before relying on the interactive results.

Full original guide (expanded)

The original AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design guide listed the calculators and context below exactly as they appeared on the legacy page.

AASHTO Load Combinations

Fatigue/Strength/Service/Extreme.

Girder Design

Flexure/shear, stiffness, spacing.

Deck Slab

Bar spacing, thickness, cover.

Bearing Checks

Service rotations and pressures.

Substructure Checks

Piers/abutments, loads, stability.

Use jurisdictional editions and site-specific loads; confirm fatigue/importance.
