This paper presents the DDBD method with all the details required for its application to the design of conventional highway bridges. The method presented here includes new features such as: the incorporation of the displacement capacity of the superstructure as a design parameter, the determination of a stability-based target displacement for piers the design of skewed bents and abutments, among others.
