(British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing, 2009-08)Pavements and bridges are subject to a continuous degradation due to traffic aggressiveness, ageing and environmental factors. A rational transport policy requires the monitoring of this transport infrastructure in order ...
-
(Elsevier, 2006-05)The concept of a road roughness index for bridge dynamics is developed. The International Roughness Index (IRI) is shown to be very poorly correlated with bridge dynamic amplification as it takes no account of the location ...

(Eugenides Foundation, 2011-10-13)Kernel density estimators are a non-parametric method of estimating the probability density function of sample data. In this paper, the method is applied to find characteristic maximum daily truck weights on highway ...

(American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE), 2006-03)Many authors, using both experimental tests and complex numerical models, have examined the effect of vehicle velocity on a highway bridge’s dynamic amplification. Although these tests and models give valuable quantitative ...

(NRC Research Press / Presses scientifiques du CNRC, 2009-01)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 ...

(Elsevier, 2007-05)This paper presents a novel approach to the reduction of short-span bridge dynamic responses to heavy vehicle crossing events. The reductions are achieved through adjustment of the vehicle suspension damping coefficient ...
-
(Wiley, 2008-07)Bridge Weigh-In-Motion systems measure bridge strain caused by the passing of a truck to estimate static axle weights. For this calculation, they commonly use a static algorithm that takes the bridge influence line as ...

(CRC Press, 2012-07-08)This paper summarises the developments in the dynamic response of bridges to traffic loading based on a large amount of simulations and field tests carried out within the 6th EU framework ARCHES (2006-2009). When assessing ...

(CRC Press, 2012-07-08)Maximum loading on long-span bridges typically occurs in congested traffic conditions. As traffic becomes congested car drivers may change lane, increasing the tendency for trucks to travel in platoons. For long-span ...

(Instituto de Ingeniería, UNAM, 2011)This study presents a vibration-based health monitoring strategy for short span bridges utilizing an inspection vehicle. How to screen health condition of short span bridges in terms of the drive-by bridge inspection is ...
