Distribution of Wheel Loads on Highway Bridges
This synthesis will be useful to bridge engineers and others concerned with the design and structural evaluation of highway bridges. Information is presented on various approaches currently used to calculate the distribution of wheel loads among the supporting members in bridge superstructures. Wheel load distribution is one of the key elements in determining member size and, consequently, strength and serviceability in highway bridges; it is, therefore, critically important both in the design of new bridges and in the evaluation of the load-carrying capacity of existing bridges. This report of the Transportation Research Board includes: an analysis of current practice, a discussion of relevant research findings, information on relevant methods of structural analysis, and a historical outline of the development of current specification provisions.
