| Abstract: |
Highway bridge design and assessment (rating) requires the application of notional traffic load models, with the most onerous load patterns being determined using influence surfaces. Software speeds the process of obtaining critical traffic load effects. This paper compares the requirements of – and load effects arising from – AS5100, the NZ Transport Agency Bridge Manual and other international Codes including those used in the US, UK, Canada, China, and the Eurocode. |
