| Abstract: |
Currently vehicle traffic regulations regarding on axle and total weights in Korea are simple, outdated and different from the regulations in other countries, such as US or European countries. In this study, load effect of over-loaded and special permit vehicle traffic on bridges and pavements are analyzed. Types of typical bridges include concrete and steel girder bridges. Types of pavements include asphalt and cement concrete pavements. Various weigh-in-motion (WIM) truck data are collected and used for comparing overweight ratios. Based on WIM truck data, load effects of various oversize vehicles mixed with common traffic are analyzed for various bridge types. Oversize vehicles include vehicles used in construction field, crane vehicles and transport vehicles for the military purpose. The effect of axle types on pavement design is also analyzed. The results of this study will be the basis of new provisions and regulations regarding on axle and total weights limitations as well as special permit vehicle. |
