摘要: |
In the present study, track traffic data collected by Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) statistics
office are grouped into according to their types and loading condition (loaded or empty). Mean values of track
axle weight and spacing are used to represent their average effects on bridge structures. The mathematical
models of typical tracks with significant counts are established and the input data are derived from the
synthesized results. These typical tracks include types 5,8,9, and 10. Road surface roughness is generated as
multi-correlated random processes. According to the research by Honda et al., die coefficient of correlation is
approximately taken as a constant
Static effects of the heavy tracks are compared with those of the standard design truck HS20-44. The
tandem axle weights of the heavy tracks are found to be higher than that of HS20-44 and exceed the limit by
AASHTO Guide. Dynamic imp^ factors of moment at midspan and shear at end are analyzed for I-girder
steel and prestressed concrete bridges ranging from 9.14m (30ft) to 42.67m (140ft). Effects of correlation of
road surface lousiness on dynamic impact factors are investigated. Fatigue accumulation damage incurred by
the normal traffic at sites with significant counts is performed.
