This workshop will review the design history of cross-frames, and then provide guidance to designers so that they can make better choices regarding cross-frame layouts, type, members, connections as well as loads, analysis, and design. The workshop will walk through design decisions for cross-frames in bridges that are straight with low skew, straight and heavily skewed, and horizontally curved with skewed supports. For each bridge type the following topics will be presented: efficient cross-frame and framing plan layout decisions, analysis considerations, stability requirements, design loads, member design, and connection design. Fabrication techniques for cross-frames and diaphragms will also be discussed, explaining why certain decisions will result in more efficient fabrication of cross-frames.
