Traffic loading crossing a bridge is simulated to analyse the correlation between the worst static
and dynamic load case. The worst static cases are obtained through a Monte-Carlo simulation
using weigh-in-motion (WIM) ...
WIM has developed greatly in the last ten years and confidence in the accuracy of recorded data has
increased significantly. Traffic data recently obtained from a number of representative European sites
are used to ...
The results of an experimental road research project are presented which demonstrate the existence of spatial repeatability and show patterns of axle impact forces along a pavement. As part of the project, a section of ...
Bridges, earth retaining walls and buried structures make up a substantial proportion of the fixed assets of the land based transportation infrastructure within Europe. Little work has been done on the development of ...
This report gives results of some new studies performed to validate the European road traffic load model proposed by the Eurocode EC1. Weight in motion has developed greatly in the last ten years and confidence in the ...
This paper describes a large scale test of six WIM systems and four additional sensors
on an urban roadway in Zürich, Switzerland. Gross weights from some thousands of
statically weighed vehicles were used to determine ...
Design and assessment of highway bridge structures requires accurate prediction of the maximum load effects, i.e. shear forces and bending moments etc., which may be expected during the proposed or remaining life of the ...
