About This Item

 

Full Description

Intended Use

In Canada, the legal mandate for establishing design and construction requirements for highways, including highway bridges, lies with the provincial and territorial governments. The Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code was developed to provide a state-of-the-art model design code that could be adopted by all provinces and territories.

This Code establishes safety and reliability levels for highway bridges that are consistent across all Canadian jurisdictions. It makes it easier for the consulting and producer industries to respond to calls for proposals and also supports the implementation of a national highway transportation system with agreed minimum standards and loadings for bridges on interprovincial highways, thereby encouraging consistency of vehicle weights across jurisdictions and supporting the objective of more cost-effective transportation of goods.

This Code uses the limit states design approach and reflects current design conditions across Canada as well as research activity since the publication of the previous edition. Several design aspects are addressed for the first time in this edition and a more detailed treatment of many areas is provided.

This Code is complemented by CSA S6.1-14, Commentary on CAN/CSA-S6-14, Canadian highway bridge design code, which provides rationale statements and explanatory material for many of the clauses of this Code.

Scope

1.1.1 Scope of Code

This Code applies to the design, evaluation, and structural rehabilitation design of fixed and movable highway bridges in Canada. There is no limit on span length, but this Code does not necessarily cover all aspects of design for every type of long-span bridge. This Code also covers the design of pedestrian bridges, retaining walls, barriers, and highway accessory supports of a structural nature, e.g., lighting poles and sign support structures.

This Code is not intended to apply to public utility structures or to bridges used solely for railway or rail transit purposes.

This Code also does not specify requirements related to coastal effects (e.g., exposure to sea action and icebergs) or to mountainous terrain effects (e.g., avalanches). For structures that can be subject to such effects, specialists need to be retained to review and advise on the design and to ensure that the applicable requirements of other codes are met.

For bridges not entirely within the scope of this Code, the requirements of this Code apply only when appropriate. Necessary additional or alternative design criteria are subject to Approval.
