The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Manual for Bridge Evaluation (MBE) is the definitive resource for bridge condition evaluation in the United States. It provides comprehensive procedures for the inspection, analysis, and load rating of highway bridges. The first edition of the MBE, adopted in 2005, superseded the earlier Manual for Condition Evaluation of Bridges.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) also provides the Bridge Inspector's Reference Manual (BIRM), which is a key resource for training bridge safety inspectors and is compliant with the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS). Other countries, like Bangladesh and Australia, and individual state departments of transportation, such as Texas and Washington, also publish their own detailed manuals tailored to their specific standards and practices.
