Abstract

The dynamic bridge-vehicle interaction is analyzed through the value of the dynamic amplification factor obtained at different locations of the bridge and truck speeds. The bridges were excited dynamically by different heavy vehicles, with different number of axles and vehicle load configurations, crossing the bridge deck at different velocities. Test results include the vehicle-bridge interaction not only in the deck but also in the pylon, via the stays, where both transversal and longitudinal vibrations were recorded during the running of the trucks over the deck.
