(2010-06-07)An examination of weigh-in-motion (WIM) data collected recently at sites in five European countries has shown that vehicles with weights well in excess of the normal legal limits are found on a daily basis. These vehicles ...

(Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, 2012-07-22)Bridge structures are subject to continuous degradation due to the environment, ageing and excess loading. Monitoring of bridges is a key part of any maintenance strategy as it can give early warning if a bridge is becoming ...

(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 ...

(Professional Engineering Publishing / SAGE Publications Ltd, 2010)This paper presents the equations of motion for a general articulated road vehicle, with variable numbers of wheels for the tractor and trailer. The equations are applicable to vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction problems ...

(IEEE, 2011-06-23)Advances in the development of electric vehicles, along with policy incentives will see a wider uptake of this technology in the transport sector in future years. However, the widespread adoption of electric vehicles ...

(2010-11-13)This paper investigates the feasibility of using an instrumented vehicle to detect bridge dynamic parameters, such as natural frequency and structural damping, in a scaled laboratory experiment. In the experiment, a ...

Impact assessment of varying penetrations of electric vehicles on low voltage distribution systems (IEEE, 2010-07)Advances in the development of electric vehicles, along with policy incentives will see a wider uptake of this technology in the transport sector in future years. However, the widespread implementation of electric vehicles ...

(Sciyo, 2010)First investigations on the dynamic response of bridges due to moving loads were motivated by the collapse of the Chester railway bridge in the UK in the middle of the 19th century. This failure made evident the need to ...

(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 ...

(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 ...
