The AASHTO Guide Specifications for LRFD Seismic Bridge Design provides detailed guidelines for designing conventional bridges to withstand earthquake effects, using a displacement-based approach instead of the traditional force-based R-factor method. Key features include capacity design principles, which ensure that plastic-hinging occurs in designated elements while protecting others, and comprehensive guidance on earthquake-resisting elements, liquefaction effects, and design strategies. The guide specifications serve as an alternative to the seismic provisions in the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.
