Characteristic traffic load effects from a mixture of loading events on short to medium span bridges
In recent years, highway bridge load assessment has been recognised as an area through which savings can be made by avoiding unnecessary bridge refurbishment and replacement. Load effects in bridges result from single truck crossings or multiple-truck presence events which are, statistically, not identically distributed. Conventional approaches fit statistical distributions to mixtures of non-i...
متن کاملLong Span Bridges
Population growth followed by the dramatic increase and demand for new services created an urgent and overwhelming need for infrastructures of civil engineering structures. However, the current infrastructure work using various techniques and conventional materials for construction will not solve the traditional and continuous deterioration of concrete structures due to corrosion of steel. One ...
متن کاملA Genetic Algorithm Approach for Performance Evaluation of Long Span Suspension Bridges
In this paper, several static and deformability parameters of a long suspension bridge are investigated using a genetic algorithm based approach. For each parameter, a genetic algorithm sets the worst loads combination considering both vertical and longitudinal loads. Ten thousand of different loads combinations are considered for each genetic analysis. In this way is also possible to investiga...
متن کاملExperimental Determination of Dynamic Allowance for Traffic Loading in Bridges
Bridge codes adopt values for dynamic allowance in traffic load models that are necessarily conservative to cover for an entire range of bridges with different mechanical characteristics, boundary conditions, and the large number of uncertainties associated to the vehicle-bridge interaction problem. A further level of conservatism occurs due to the independent manner in which the governing stat...
متن کاملCalibration of a Congestion Load Model for Highway Bridges Using Traffic Microsimulation
For shortto medium-length bridges, the governing traffic loading scenario may be congested traffic. This paper presents the calibration of a congested traffic load model using traffic microsimulation. A range of bridge lengths, forms of construction, and load effects is considered. Different driving parameters and traffic composition are also considered. The influence of these parameters on the...
