1997.Thereafter modifications to IRC codes have been issued. There also
have been some changes in practices in designing/constructing bridges.
In view of this it was desired to have modifications in the guidelines.
Some new chapters are added, modifications are done in existing
chapters. This second edition of guidelines is expected to meet the
demands of the bridge designer while planning for a new bridge.
