Truck Load Models for Bridges

Andrzej S. Nowak, David Ferrand

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present the development of live load model using field measurement of truck load and live load effect in bridge components. The major truck parameters include gross vehicle weight (GVW), axle weights, and axle configuration (spacing). These parameters can be measured using weigh-in-motion technique, invisible to the drivers (to avoid bias).
