ISO 28842:2013的目的是提供足够的信息，以执行符合ISO 28842:2013规定限制的结构混凝土桥梁设计。ISO 28842:2013中规定的设计规则是对更详细要求的简化。 ISO 28842:2013可作为制定国家混凝土桥梁设计和施工规范的替代方案，或在没有国家设计规范的国家使用的同等文件，或作为国家标准机构或其他适当监管机构特别考虑和接受的国家混凝土桥梁设计和施工规范的替代方案，并适用于限制跨径、桥墩高度和类型的新桥中使用的结构混凝土桥梁的规划、设计和施工。

The purpose of ISO 28842:2013 is to provide sufficient information to perform the design of the structural concrete bridge that complies with the limitations established in ISO 28842:2013. The rules of design as set forth in ISO 28842:2013 are simplifications of more elaborate requirements. ISO 28842:2013 can be used as an alternative to the development of a national concrete bridge design and construction code, or equivalent document in countries where no national design codes are available by themselves, or as an alternative to the national concrete bridge design and construction code in countries where specifically considered and accepted by the national standards body or other appropriate regulatory organization, and applies to the planning, design and construction of structural concrete bridges to be used in new bridges of restricted span length, height of piers, and type.
