Effects of Traffic Loads on Road Bridges - Preliminary Studies for the Re-Asessment of the Traffic Load Model for Eurocode 1, Part 3.

O'Connor, Alan ; Jacob, Bernard ; O'Brien, Eugene J. ; Prat, Michel (European Communities, 1998)

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 ...
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 ...
Report of Current Studies Performed on Normal Load Model of EC1-Part 2. Traffic Loads on Bridges, 5(4),

O'Connor, Alan ; Jacob, Bernard ; O'Brien, Eugene J. ; Prat, Michel (Taylor & Francis, 2001-10-05)

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 ...
