AASHTO Standard Girders from PCI BDM

This library and templates package is based on the Precast-Prestressed Concrete Institute Bridge Design Manual. The PCI-BDM does not provide complete information for girder definition, traffic barriers, project criteria, etc. Much of data in the libraries is based on engineering experience and practices at WSDOT, however the project criteria reflects the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. This library is neither created by nor endorsed by AASHTO.
