Structural Supports For Highway Signs Luminaires And Traffic Signals

.

The 1st Edition of this book incorporates and builds upon the design specifications found in the Sixth Edition of Standard Specifications for Structural Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaires, and Traffic Signals, which it supersedes. The specification includes current research on LRFD calibration, loads, and resistances plus relevant specifications from other AASHTO documents. Completely new sections on Fabrication, Construction, Inspection, and Asset Management based upon best practices have also been added..

"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 796: Development and Calibration of AASHTO LRFD Specifications for Structural Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaires, and Traffic Signals provides specifications for structural supports of highway signs, luminaires, and traffic signals for consideration and inclusion in the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) load and resistance factor design (LRFD) methodology. The report includes the Research Report, which documents the entire research effort, and the Appendix A: Calibration Report. Appendix B: AASHTO LRFD Specifications will be published by AASHTO. Other appendices are available on the TRB website, including: Appendix C: Design Examples, Appendix D: Survey Results, Appendix E: Fatigue Resistance Comparisons."--Publisher's description..
