Abstract

This paper presents a summary of loading history studies that have been conducted on girder-slab bridge structures. Characteristics of the bridges, bridge locations, and loadings are examined to present uniform code criteria. A technique that considers random load application is presented for possible design consideration. The method incorporates distribution of truck type, location of road, simple and continuous spans, and probable induced field stresses.
