N2  - The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of a large number of experimental results concerning the local traffic loads, static and dynamic, transmitted to road bridges via the tyres of heavy goods vehicles in normal operating circumstances. A few extreme cases, due to accidental situations, are also considered. These thoughts and analysis results concern the origin, kinematics, and distribution of loads on the decks of bridges, and have been produced with a regulatory aim, for the generation of EUROCODE 1 (Part 3) on road traffic loads. The objective is to define load models applicable to the design of structures.<p />
