Proposed Loading for Highway Bridges
It was decided to confine this study to a load of 20-ton trucks. State specifications of 20-ton truck loads were studied, and were found mainly to specify a sliding scale of uniform loads for the trusses and girders, but for the floor system and hangers of the trusses, the actual truck loads were to be used. A common unifonn load for the trusses was 100 lb. per sq. ft. for spans up to 100 ft., SO lb. per sq. ft. for spans of more than 200 ft., and proportionate loads for intermediate spans.
