| description abstract | Turkish bridge design standards were studied with a focus on the live load. Turkish design specifications were compared with American design specifications. Turkish bridge design specifications follow American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials-Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges (AASHTO-SSHB), with the live load in Turkish standards given in tonnes, whereas in AASHTO-SSHB the live load is in tons. Turkish bridges are currently designed to either HS20 or HS30, the latter being 65% heavier than HS20-44. A reinforced concrete open spandrel arch bridge in Birecik, Turkey was analyzed using a service load approach according to AASHTO-SSHB with a heavy equipment transporter (HET), weighing | |
