Importance of the tail in truck weight modeling for bridge assessment

O'Brien, Eugene J. ; Enright, Bernard ; Getachew, Abraham (American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE), 2010-03)

To predict characteristic extreme traffic load effects, simulations are sometimes performed of bridge loading events. To generalize the truck weight data, statistical distributions are fitted to histograms of weight ...
