PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee BD-090, Bridge Design,
to supersede HB 77.5—1996, Australian Bridge Design Code, Section 5: Concrete.
This Standard incorporates Amendment No. 1 (April 2010) and Amendment No. 2
(December 2010). The changes required by the Amendment are indicated in the text by a
marginal bar and amendment number against the clause, note, table, figure or part thereof
affected.
The AS 5100 series represents a revision of the 1996 HB 77 series, Australian Bridge
Design Code, which contained a separate Railway Supplement to Sections 1 to 5, together
with Section 6, Steel and composite construction, and Section 7, Rating. AS 5100 takes the
requirements of the Railway Supplement and incorporates them into Parts 1 to 5 of the
present series, to form integrated documents covering requirements for both road and rail

Australian Standard
Bridge design
Part 5: Concrete
This Standard sets out minimum requirements for the design and construction of concrete
bridges and associated structures including members that contain reinforcing steel or
tendons, or both. It also sets out minimum requirements for plain concrete members.
1.1.2 Application
This Standard applies to concrete structures made using the following materials:
(a) Concrete with a characteristic compressive strength at 28 days ( f c′ ) in the range of
25 MPa to 65 MPa and with a saturated surface-dry density in the range of
2100 kg/m 3 to 2800 kg/m 3 .
(b) Reinforcing steels complying with AS/NZS 4671, and the following criteria:
(i) Yield strength (fsy ) of 500 MPa and Ductility Class N. These reinforcing
materials may be used, without restriction, in all applications referred to in this
Standard.
(ii) Yield strength (fsy ) of 500 MPa and Ductility Class L. These reinforcing
materials shall not be used in any situation where the reinforcement is expected
to undergo large deformation under strength limit state conditions or any
situation where the bar is likely to be bent or rebent on site (see Note 1).
(iii) Round bars of yield strength (fsy ) of 250 MPa and Ductility Class N. These
reinforcing bars shall only be used for fitments.
(c) Prestressing tendons complying with AS 1310, AS 1311 or AS 1313, as appropriate
(see Note 2).
NOTES:
1 The use of Ductility Class L reinforcement is further limited by other clauses within this
Standard.
2 The design of a structure or member to which this Standard applies should be the
responsibility of an engineer as defined in AS 5100.1.
1.3 DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this Standard, the definitions below apply. Definitions peculiar to a
particular Clause are also given in that Clause.
