Support for AASHTO Committees and Councils. AASHTO COBS Research Roadmap Update

In 2020, the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Committee on Bridges and Structures (COBS) initiated NCHRP Project 20-123(10), “AASHTO Committee on Bridges and Structures Strategic Plan, Operating Guidelines, and Research Roadmap Development.” Based on the findings of NCHRP 20-123(10), AASHTO COBS has updated the strategic plan, charter, and operating guidelines to implement a reorganized committee structure. Further development is needed to fully implement the research recommendations. Research is needed to help AASHTO COBS focus its efforts in areas of greatest need and to foster, support, monitor, disseminate, and implement research in a manner that benefits state departments of transportation (DOTs). OBJECTIVE: The objective of this project is to develop an AASHTO COBS research roadmap that identifies, supports, disseminates, and implements research to help state DOTs address pressing needs in bridges and structures and reflect AASHTO COBS priorities and advancements in the industry.
