Deriving a load model for the braking force on road bridges: Comparison between a deterministic and a probabilistic approach

Katrin Beyer, André-Gilles Dumont, Marc-Antoine Fénart, Glauco Feltrin

The current provisions for the braking force in the Eurocodes are much more demanding than previously enforced national codes from most European countries. Hence, safety assessments of existing bridges may show a lack of compliance with the new safety requ ...

Lateral Torsional Buckling of steel bridge girders

Jean-Paul Lebet, Raphaël Thiébaud

The Lateral Torsional Buckling (L.T.B.) design of beams in buildings has received considerable attention over the last decades, and relatively similar improved design rules are now implemented in major design standards. On the contrary, it may be shown tha ...

Performance of Pedestrian-Load Models through Experimental Studies on Lightweight Aluminum Bridges

Scott Walbridge, Ann Christine Sychterz

Aluminum structures provide a high strength-to-weight ratio, are corrosion resistant, and are esthetically pleasing. Hence, their use in bridge construction has recently begun to increase, especially for pedestrian bridges. Because of their relative light ...

Updated braking forces for the assessment of road bridges

João Miguel De Oliveira Durães Alves Martins

Safety assessments of road bridges to braking events combine the braking force, acting along the longitudinal axis of the deck, with a vertical load that accounts for the vertical component of the traffic action. In modern design standards the vertical loa ...

Effect on Bridge Load Effects of Vehicle Transverse In-Lane Position: A Case Study

Eugen Brühwiler, Mark Anthony Treacy

This paper presents an investigation of the influence of vehicle transverse in-lane position on bridge traffic load effects. To analyze the influence, both finite-element analysis and statistical analysis methods are used, and various technical aspects are ...
