GENERAL

Article 5.1 of these Specifications gives Owners the opportunity
to apply coastal loads in either the strength limit state or the
extreme limit state, depending on the Owner's assessment of the
criticality of the bridge. Evacuation and rescue/recovery of the
affected area should be a prime factor when considering a system of
bridges serving a coastal area. The effect on the local economy
should also be considered.

No effect of anticipated climate change has been accounted for
herein. Individual Owners may include this feature depending on
their jurisdiction's policy in this regard.
