Written completely in English language, this seems to be an official engineering regulation code.
The Specifications for Highway Bridges Part I: Volume on Common Matters and Part II: Volume on
Steel Bridges were given by the Ministry of Construction in 1972 as an official notice under the title
"Technical Standards for Bridges and Skyways." These were a revision and unification of the
Design Specifications for Steel Highway Bridges, the Erection Specifications for Steel Highway
Bridges and the Specifications for Welded Steel Highway Bridges in 1964, the Design and Erection
Guideline for Composite Girders in 1965, the Design and Erection Guideline for Steel Highway
Bridges by Friction-type Connection with High Tensile Strength Bolts in 1966, and the Supplements
to Specifications for Welded Steel Highway Bridges in 1967 and 1968, and were compiled as part of
the systematization of specifications for highway bridges.
After that, a revision was made in 1993 mainly concerning the stipulations on live loads to keep up
with the enlarging trend of vehicle size and increase durability. Another revision was made in 1996
mainly concerning the stipulations on seismic design.
This revision aimed at performance-stipulating technical standards and employed a format in which
a requirement was described in principle together with existing stipulations that would satisfy the
requirement. In addition, Part I: Volume on Common Matters reflected the research and study
results and experience since the previous revision and reviewed the content based on such reflection,
and Part II: Volume on Steel Bridges reviewed the stipulations on fatigue to improve durability and
the stipulations on quality control in fabrication and erection.
