AASHTO Committees, please look online in the AASHTO Store (store.transportation.org) under “Bridges and
Structures.”

Suggestions for the improvement of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications are welcomed, just as they were
for the Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges before them, at www.transportation.org.

The following have served as chair of the Committee on Bridges and Structures since its inception in 1921: E. F.
Kelley, who pioneered the work of the Committee; Albin L. Gemeny; R. B. McMinn; Raymond Archiband; G. S. Paxson;
E. M. Johnson; Ward Goodman; Charles Matlock; Joseph S. Jones; Sidney Poleynard; Jack Freidenrich; Henry W.
Derthick; Robert C. Cassano; Clellon Loveall; James E. Siebels; David Pope; Tom Lulay; Malcolm T. Kerley; Gregg
Fredrick; and Carmen Swanwick. The Committee expresses its sincere appreciation of the work of these individuals and of
those active members of the past, whose names, because of retirement, are no longer on the roll.

The Committee would also like to thank John M. Kulicki, Ph.D., and his associates at Modjeski and Masters for their
valuable assistance in the preparation of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.
