Abstract

The Design Manual is published by the Methods Section in the Office of Design. This manual is in English units. The companion manual is in metric units. Most sections of the Design Manual are intended to give guidance or information on how a certain aspect of design is normally handled. To a lesser extent, the manual is also used to document normal design policy. The Design Manual is meant to be a resource, not a cookbook or something that restricts innovation. The judgment of the Design Projects Engineer in consultation with the Design Engineer may supersede the guidance given in this manual. However, if deviation is made from normal policy, a design exception shall be prepared clearly documenting the situation and reasons.
