本第二版与公路桥梁标准规范以及这些规范的后续临时修订版一起使用。指南规范的第二版由美国节段桥梁研究所组织的基础广泛的委员会制定。委员会成员包括州交通部、联邦公路管理局、院士、咨询工程师、承包商和供应商的代表。

This second edition was prepared for use in conjunction with the Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges, and subsequent interim revisions to these specifications. The second edition of the guide specifications was developed by a broad-based committee organized by the American Segmental Bridge Institute. The committee included representatives of state departments of transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, academicians, consulting engineers, contractors, and suppliers.
