Traffic load models on road bridges. Load spectra in Spain

In this paper a briefly review of tsome aspects in modeling traffic loads are summarized and compared with those measured in other countries. The data may be used to calibrate new live load models in bridges for Ultimate and Serviceable Limit States, using developed numerical procedures that available to update the current design Codes, and to be used as a basis on design, bridge management, and structural evaluations.
