| Abstract: |
Destia Ltd has collected data of the traffic flow at some 20 automatic monitoring stations. The collected data was analysed and stochastic variables were determined for various characteristics of traffic composition (traffic volume, vehicle classes, features of queues, frequencies of meetings of heavy vehicles and queues, etc.). Aforementioned data together with statistics of vehicle weights were used as input parameters for stress simulations on two span bridges having variable span lengths and transversal stiffness characteristics. Results of these studies are used for the determination of appropriate design loads for load bearing capacity calculations and for the adjustments of Eurocode national parameters. |
