This document provides an outline of the design process for a bridge project. It discusses inputs like plans and load calculations. It explains methodologies for superstructure, pier, and abutment design. Load factors and combinations are defined along with limit states. Flowcharts show general design steps for precast girders, deck slabs, and pier columns. Seismic analysis methodology is also described, including structural conditions, design force calculation, and modeling.
