Protocols for Collecting and Using Traffic Data in Bridge Design
Author: Bala Sivakumar
Publisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 0309155479
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 683: Protocols for Collecting and Using Traffic Data in Bridge Design explores a set of protocols and methodologies for using available recent truck traffic data to develop and calibrate vehicular loads for superstructure design, fatigue design, deck design, and design for overload permits. The protocols are geared to address the collection, processing, and use of national weigh-in-motion (WIM) data. The report also gives practical examples of implementing these protocols with recent national WIM data drawn from states/sites around the country with different traffic exposures, load spectra, and truck configurations. The material in this report will be of immediate interest to bridge engineers. This report replaces NCHRP Web-Only Document 135: Protocols for Collecting and Using Traffic Data in Bridge Design. Appendices A through F for NCHRP Report 683 are available only online.

Bridge Traffic Loading
Author: Eugene OBrien
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000459918
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
There is considerable uncertainty about what level of traffic loading bridges should be designed for. Codes specify notional load models, generally to represent extreme levels of normal traffic, but these are often crude and have inconsistent levels of safety for different load effects. Over the past few decades, increasing quantities of reliable truck weight data has become available and it is now possible to calculate appropriate levels of bridge traffic loading, both for specific bridges and for a road network. Bridge Traffic Loading brings together experts from all over the world to deliver not just the state-of-the-art of vertical loading, but also to provide recommendations of best-practice for all the major challenges in the field – short-span, single and multi-lane bridge loading, dynamic allowance and long-span bridges. It reviews issues that continue to be debated, such as which statistical distribution is most appropriate, whether free-flowing or congested traffic governs and dealing with future traffic growth. Specialist consultants and bridge owners should find this invaluable, as will regulators.

Pages : 164
Book Description
The goal of this research study was to assess and address the implications of the axle load spectra approach proposed by the M-E Design Guide. In addition, recommendations were developed regarding traffic data needs and availability to aid in deciding the installation locations of future WIM stations in Texas. A methodology for specifying the required accuracy of WIM equipment based on the effect that this accuracy has on pavement performance prediction was also developed. Regarding traffic volume forecasting, a methodology is presented that allows optimum use of available data by simultaneously estimating traffic growth and seasonal traffic variability.
