Assessment dynamic ratio for traffic loading on highway bridges

Caprani, Colin C. ; González, Arturo ; Rattigan, Paraic ; O'Brien, Eugene J. (Taylor & Francis, 2011-11-28)

The determination of characteristic bridge load effect is a complex problem. Usually, statistical extrapolation of simulated static load effects is used to derive a lifetime characteristic static load effect. However, ...
Determination of bridge lifetime dynamic amplification factor using finite element analysis of critical loading scenarios

González, Arturo ; Rattigan, Paraic ; O'Brien, Eugene J. ; Caprani, Colin C. (Elsevier, 2008-09)

The development of accurate codes for the design of bridges and the evaluation of existing structures requires adequate assessment of heavy traffic loading and also the dynamic interaction that may occur as this traffic ...
