The determination of characteristic bridge load effect is a complex problem. Usually,
statistical extrapolation of simulated static load effects is used to derive a lifetime
characteristic static load effect. However, ...
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 ...
The development of accurate codes for the design of bridges and the evaluation of
existing structures requires adequate assessment of heavy traffic loading and also the dynamic interaction that may occur as this traffic ...
Critical static bridge loading scenarios are often expressed in terms of the number of vehicles that are present on the bridge at the time of occurrence of maximum lifetime load effect. For example, 1-truck, 2-truck, 3-truck ...
