Contacting AASHTO

[bwing08]

Hi all,

Is there anyway to contact AASHTO for clarification on code articles? In the introduction of the 8th edition, an address is provided to write inquiries to AASHTO, but I am surprised an email address is not provided. For example AISC has their "solutions center" in which you can contact AISC on the intent of a particular code provision. I would think AASHTO would have something similar.

NOTE: I wrote to AASHTO months ago via snail mail and have not heard back from them.

Thanks in advance,

They only give an email address as info@aashto.org. Two suggestions:
Contact your state DOT AASHTO rep, which could be as useful (or useless)as sending an inquiry to AASHTO; or if you can emsil AASHTO for the technical committee contact info for the particular section in question.

Thanks, some good food for thought.

Here's a link to the various committees. They do provide email addresses for the members.

Appreciate it. I'll give that a try and seem if I come back with anything.

Contacting them could have been a Bridge Too Far...

Just following up on this post. I contacted T-5, The Loads and Load Distribution Committee, and I did receive a response.

Thanks Bridgebuster

Glad it worked out
