Abstract: Several full-scale load tests were performed on a selected Florida highway bridge. The bridge was dynamically excited by two fully loaded trucks, and the strain, acceleration, and displacement at selected points were ...

Abstract: Results from experimental testing of three permit vehicles are presented in the paper. The selected heavy vehicles, which require permits from state DOTs, included two tractor-trailer systems and a midsize crane. The ...

Abstract: The paper presents an experimental study of the actual dynamic effects for a preselected typical highway bridge. Knowledge of the dynamic impact factors is important for accurate determination of the ultimate load capacity ...
