| Abstract: |
Highway bridge design and 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 patterns and effects. This paper compares the requirements of – and load effects arising from – AASHTO LRFD, various State Bridge Design Manual implementations, also touching on selected international Codes from Europe, Australia, Canada and China. |
