Calibration of a Congestion Load Model for Highway Bridges Using Traffic Microsimulation
For shortto medium-length bridges, the governing traffic loading scenario may be congested traffic. This paper presents the calibration of a congested traffic load model using traffic microsimulation. A range of bridge lengths, forms of construction, and load effects is considered. Different driving parameters and traffic composition are also considered. The influence of these parameters on the...
متن کاملLive load model for highway bridges *
Load models are developed for highway bridges. The models are based on the available statistical data on dead load, truck loads and dynamic loads. The paper deals mostly with the static live load. The model is derived from truck surveys, weigh-in-motion measurements and other observations. Simple span moments, shears and negative moments are calculated for various spans. Extreme 75 year loads a...
متن کاملRecent Innovation for Concrete Highway Bridges
A new generation of concrete highway bridges has recently been built in Canada using new design concepts and advanced materials for reinforcing and prestressing concrete . This paper describes briefly the design and construction of three bridges. The first smart concrete highway bridge (Centre Street, Beddington Bridge, Calgary, Alberta) is prestressed by carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) ...
متن کاملHarvesting traffic-induced vibrations for structural health monitoring of bridges
This paper discusses the development and testing of a renewable energy source for powering wireless sensors used to monitor the structural health of bridges. Traditional power cables or battery replacement are excessively expensive or infeasible in this type of application. An inertial power generator has been developed that can harvest traffic-induced bridge vibrations. Vibrations on bridges h...
متن کاملModeling Highway Traffic Volumes
The behavior of vehicular traffic is subject to many irregularities and stochastic fluctuations. Thus, our success in solving a variety of traffic management and optimizations tasks, such as accident detection or optimal vehicle routing, depends heavily on our ability to adequately model, reason about and predict such a behavior. The objective of this work is to develop a probabilistic model of...
