Description: In 2013, the Federal Highway Administration proposed a new research program for the characterization of bridge foundations. To narrow the focus and develop a research roadmap for the program, a workshop on "Characterization of Bridge Foundations" was held in Arlington, VA, from April 30 to May 1, 2013, to solicit key stakeholder input. The workshop opened with plenary sessions to provide the invited participants with a national perspective on the issue; summaries of geotechnical and hydraulic hazards; and, the impact of changes in service loads and foundations reuse. The plenary sessions were followed by breakout sessions. This report presents an overview and documents the results and conclusions of the workshop.
