Bridge design, Part 3: Foundation and soil-supporting structures
Standards Australia , 03/31/2017
AS 5100.3:2017 PDF
Sets out requirements and procedures for the design in limit states format of foundations and soil-supporting structures for road, rail and pedestrian bridges, culverts not specifically covered by other Standards, and subways of conventional size and form. Also covers the design of foundations for road furniture, such as lighting poles, sign support structures and noise barriers.
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee BD-090, Bridge Design, to supersede AS 5100.3—2004. This Standard is also designated as AUSTROADS publication AP-G51.3-17.
The objective of this Part (AS 5100.3) is to specify the requirements and principles for the design of foundations for bridges and associated soil retaining structures in Australia.
The requirements of the AS(AS/NZS) 5100 series are based on the principles of structural mechanics and knowledge of material properties, for both the conceptual and detailed design, to achieve acceptable probabilities that the bridge or associated structure being designed will not become unfit for use during its design life.
