I am considering drilling into the bottom flange (tension region) of an existing stringer to make a structural connection on a bridge. The stringer has excess capacity and I am only concerned if there is something in AASHTO which states you can't do this. I know this is not an ideal solution to my situation but I am investigating it. There will not be any welding to tension members.
