August 2011 Update - Part 2

Pile Properties Tables Added
Tables from PADOT's DM-4 have been added to the appropriate abutment design sections of the website.  The tables provide data for piles with and without section loss which is often needed for PADOT's abutment design programs.

Headwall Deletion Letter Added
A link has been added to the Culvert Design page of the Design Website which brings up a letter from PADOT explaining that the approved standard drawings for CON/SPAN precast arch culverts incorrectly show that structure-mounted barriers/guiderails can be used.  PADOT currently does not allow these details because they found them to not meet FHWA impact requirements.

Square on Square
The Chinese restaurant Square on Square has been added to the International Lunches section of the website.

Mileage Reimbursement Rates Updated
Mileage Reimbursement Rates have been moved to the Extra Info page to be easier to find.  Links are provided for PADOT's reimbursement rate as well as the Ammann & Whitney reimbursement rate.

Abutment Design Page Added
A new "hub" page for the various abutment design pages has been added.  This page will host information typically common to all or most abutment types.  Currently included is a link to SOL 431-11-03 which modifies bridge seat/approach slab waterproofing details.

RC Changes - June, 2010
On the Roadway Design page a link to a summary of the June, 2010 changes to PADOT's RCs has been added.
