Bridge weigh‐in‐motion systems measure bridge strain caused by the passing of a truck to
estimate static axle weights. For this calculation, they commonly use a static algorithm that …

More accurate assessment of safety can prevent unnecessary repair or replacement of
existing bridges which in turn can result in great cost savings at network level. The …

This article proposes a bridge damage detection method using direct rotation
measurements. Initially, numerical analyses are carried out on a one-dimensional (1D) …

First investigations on the dynamic response of bridges due to moving loads were motivated
by the collapse of the Chester railway bridge in the UK in the middle of the 19th century. This …

Most of the current research on dynamic amplification factors caused by traffic flow on a
bridge has focused on bending moment effects. Although bending stresses often govern the …

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 …

Moving Force Identification (MFI) theory can be used to create an algorithm for a Bridge
Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) system that can produce complete force histories of the loads that …

This article presents the equations of motion for a general articulated road vehicle, with
variable number of wheels for the tractor and trailer. The equations are applicable to vehicle …

Extremely heavy vehicles are becoming more common on European highways due to the
increasing demand for transport of heavy goods. These vehicles require permits from the …

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 …
