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 ...
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 presents a new approach to the modelling of congested traffic loading events on long span bridges. Conventional traffic load models are based on weigh-in-motion data of non-congested traffic, or something similar ...
Site-specific assessment of the loading to which existing bridges are subject has considerable potential for saving on rehabilitation and replacement costs of the bridge stock. Monte Carlo simulations, with traffic ...
It is well acknowledged that long-span road bridges (about 50 m long and more) are
governed by congestion traffic rather than free-flow conditions. A conventional model
for the design of new long-span bridges is to place ...
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 ...
The assessment of site-specific bridge traffic loading using WIM data is a critical feature of
minimizing the cost of rehabilitation and replacement for bridge stock. For short- to medium-span bridges, it is often assumed ...
Accurate traffic loading models based on measured weigh-in-motion (WIM) data are
essential for the accurate assessment of existing bridges. Much work has been
published on the Monte Carlo simulation of single lanes of ...
This paper presents a new approach to the modeling of congested traffic loading events on long span bridges. Conventional traffic load models are based on weigh-in-motion data of non-congested traffic, or something similar ...
In recent years highway bridge load assessment has been recognised as an area through which savings can be made by avoiding unnecessary bridge refurbishment and replacement. Load effects in bridges result from single truck ...
