dc.description.abstract	Two slab-on-girder bridge superstructures are analyzed using grillage models. Different live load placement configurations are investigated to determine the sensitivity of live load shear and moment to vehicle spacing. Results from both bridges show that the distribution factors are relatively insensitive to vehicle spacing. Therefore significant computational speedups are available when applying vehicle loads on an influence surface with a fixed spacing.
