The Question Itself:
Is there an online (or other) resource that describes the building
codes for interstate highways? I DAGS and wound up with the UBC
(Uniform Building Code) and hundreds of places online that would sell
me a copy for about $200, but I'm not willing to pay that to prove I'm
right about this. All of my knowledge comes from old-timers and the
not-infinitesimal experiences I've had in dealing with concrete and
concrete contractors.

The California DOT has their manuals on-line. See:
