Methodology for development of live load models for refined analysis of short and medium-span highway bridges
2017
Structure and Infrastructure Engineering
The accuracy of bridge system safety evaluations and reliability assessments obtained through refined structural and Finite Element (FE) analyses depends not only on the accuracy of the structural model itself but also on the proper modeling of the maximum traffic loads. While current code-specified live load models were calibrated to properly reflect the safety levels of bridge structures analyzed using the simplified methods adopted in bridge design and evaluation manuals, these load models
