About the research

There is a need for design of bridge pier system under the expected truck collision loads. The current Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) bridge design requirements for collision need to be updated to reflect the recent updates to the AASHTO LRFD code. Furthermore, the Iowa DOT is planning to introduce a new set of specifications for the standard three-column frame pier that could be used as a standard design under collision.
