The objective of the conference was to provide an international forum for the exchange of the latest bridge research results and technical information on planning, design, construction, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, replacement, management, security, and safety of vehicular and railroad bridges. The conference focused on problems and solutions of interest to bridge engineers and administrators of highway, railroad, and transit agencies. Research results from the AASHTO-sponsored NCHRP bridge studies as well as results from federal, state, and other research agencies were highlighted. Papers presented in the poster, plenary, and concurrent paper sessions are included on this CD-ROM. The papers are organized under the following headings: Reliability, Security, and Sustainability in Bridge Engineering; Advances in Research, Practice, and Rating of Load and Resistance Factor Design; Prefabricated Bridges and Accelerated Construction; Nondestructive Evaluation, Health Monitoring, and Durability; Seismic Design, Evaluation, and Retrofit, and Extreme Events; Innovative Design, Materials, and Methods, and Research; Bridge Management, Scour, and Maintenance; and Bridge Aesthetics. For abstracts of some papers presented see C 41897 - C 41931.
