When formulating an approach to assess bridge traffic loading with allowance for Vehicle-Bridge Interaction (VBI), a trade-off is necessary between the limited accuracy and computational demands of numerical models and the ...
Simple numerical models of point loads are used to represent single and multiple vehicle events on two-lane bridges with a good road profile. While such models are insufficiently complex to calculate dynamic amplification ...
Bridge codes adopt values for dynamic allowance in traffic load models that are necessarily conservative
to cover for an entire range of bridges with different mechanical characteristics, boundary conditions, and the ...
In Bridge Weigh-in-Motion (B-WIM), an instrumented bridge is used as a scales to weigh passing trucks and their axles. The most common algorithm upon which modern B-WIM systems are based remains that developed by Moses ...
This paper presents the potential of the cross-entropy method to surmise the properties
of a simply supported beam using as input the response of the structure to a moving
load. The beam model is discretised into a number ...
