Characteristic dynamic traffic load effects in bridges

O'Brien, Eugene J. ; Rattigan, Paraic ; González, Arturo ; Dowling, Jason ; Znidaric, Ales (Elsevier, 2009-07)

When formulating an approach to assess bridge traffic loading with allowance for Vehicle-Bridge Interaction (VBI), a trade-off is necessary between the limited accuracy and computational demands of numerical models and the ...
Critical speed for the dynamics of truck events on bridges with a smooth road surface

González, Arturo ; O'Brien, Eugene J. ; Cantero, Daniel ; Li, Yingyan ; Dowling, Jason ; Znidaric, Ales (Elsevier, 2010-05-24)

Simple numerical models of point loads are used to represent single and multiple vehicle events on two-lane bridges with a good road profile. While such models are insufficiently complex to calculate dynamic amplification ...
