CURT consisted of Carnegie-Mellon University, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Rhode Island and Syracuse University. The 1980 Guide Specifications also included Load Factor Design (LFD) provisions developed in American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Project 190 and approved by ballot of the AASHTO Highway Subcommittee on Bridges and Structures (HSCOBS) in October 1979.
