Probability Based Load Models of Highway Traffic for ULS and SLS Analyses
Abstract This paper presents a probability based concept for the modeling of highway traffic loads which includes the effects of dead load, live load and the resistance of the structure. It consists of the following parts: the principles of traffic simulation, the concept of the probabilistic analysis of ultimate limit state (ULS), the load models obtained for ULS, the particular problems for the analysis of serviceability limit state (SLS). The results of this study show that it is possible to justify, on a probabilistic basis, load models for highway traffic which assure a uniform degree of safety for different structures and which are independent of type of material, type of cross section and other structural characteristics such as span length and deck width.
