Estimating fatigue design load for overhead steel sign support structures under truck-induced wind pressure
Experimental results of the truck-induced wind gust pressure were used as the basis to develop the equivalent static truck-induced wind pressure for fatigue design in the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). The development does not explicitly quantify the stress range distribution, nor does the development discuss the implied reliability. No recommendation is given to consider truck-induced pressure for fatigue design in the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC). This study quantifies the stress range due to truck traffic, and calibrates the equivalent static truck-induced wind pressure for fatigue design of overhead steel sign support structures. The reliability-based calibration is focused on the CHBDC. For the vertical excitations, the calibrated pressure is less than 50% of that suggested in the AASHTO. For the horizontal excitations, the calibrated pressure can be greater or smaller than that for the site-dependent natural wind gusts. Therefore, the truck-induced horizontal wind pressure could govern the fatigue design for some sites.
