Local problems, such as the lateral forces induced by curved prestressing ducts, are often handled using specific design rules and details that have been developed over the years. For the most part, this design approach has been used successfully, but some recent cases of poor bridge performance have made it clear that this approach has its limitations.

Final recommendations are presented in the final chapter and are implemented in the form of recommended changes to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications and Commentary and in analysis guidelines for these types of bridges. Example problems are also presented that illustrate the application of these recommendations.
