3  Load Criteria
15.3.1 Scope
AASHTO LRFD shall be the minimum design criteria used for all projects. Additional
requirements, exceptions, and deviations from AASHTO LRFD requirements are
contained herein.
15.3.2  Load Factors and Load Combinations
A value of 1.0 shall be used for hi in Equation 3.4.1-1 of AASHTO LRFD Bridge
Design Specifications except for the design of columns when a minimum value of gi is
required by Article 3.4.1 of AASHTO LRFD. In such a case, hi shall be 0.95.
Strength IV load combination shall not be used for foundation design. For foundation
design, loads shall be factored after distribution through structural analysis
or modeling.
The live load factor for Extreme Event-I Limit State shall be 0.5. The base construction
temperature shall be taken as 64° F for the determination of Temperature Load.
The Load Factors for Permanent Loads Due to Superimposed Deformations are
provided in Table 3.53. Table 3.5-3 replaces Table 3.4.1-3 of AASHTO LRFD Bridge
Design Specifications.

15.3.3  Permanent Loads


The design unit weights of common permanent loads shall be as shown in Table 3.8-1.
A. Future Deck Overlay Requirement
Structures that will be constructed with deck protection System 1 or 4 shall be
designed to account for a 2” thick HMA overlay placed uniformly over the entire
deck area. The design need not account for the weight of the 2” thick HMA
overlay within the deck area covered by appurtenances such as, but not limited to,
sidewalks and traffic barriers, which have a dead weight in excess of the 2” thick
HMA overlay.
