Hi,

It is my first time to design a pedestrian bridge using the LRFD Guide Specifications for Design of Pedestrian Bridges. The specs did not mention that seismic load shall be considered in the design of a pedestrian bridge. Is my understanding correct?

It’s up to the owner. If they want seismic design it would be in accordance with the LRFD bridge specs.

Don't see why you would not design it for seismic loads. If the bridge is constructed in California, seismic is kind of a big thing there.
