Traditionally, damage identification techniques in bridges have focused on monitoring
changes to modal-based Damage Sensitive Features (DSFs) due to their direct relationship …

The use of bridges to weigh trucks in motion, B-WIM, has developed considerably since first
emerging in the late 1970's. This paper reviews recent developments, particularly in Europe …

Bridge weigh-in-motion (WIM) uses existing bridges to find the weights of vehicles that pass
overhead. Contactless bridge weigh-in-motion (cBWIM) uses bridges to weigh vehicles …

Bridge weigh-in-motion (B-WIM) is a method by which the axle weights of a vehicle travelling
at full highway speed can be determined using a bridge instrumented with sensors. This …

This paper proposes a novel Level I damage-detection technique for short-to medium-span
road bridges using weigh-in-motion (WIM) technology. The technique is based on the input …

The dynamic component of bridge traffic loading is commonly taken into account with a
Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF)—the ratio between the dynamic and static load effects …

This paper presents a probabilistic framework to derive the safety factors for fatigue of steel
and composite steel concrete road bridges. Engineering models are used for the design and …

When formulating an approach to assess bridge traffic loading with allowance for Vehicle-
Bridge Interaction (VBI), a trade-off is necessary between the limited accuracy and …

Conventional bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) uses a bridge influence line to find the axle
weights of passing vehicles that minimize the sum of squares of differences between …

There is considerable uncertainty about what level of traffic loading bridges should be
designed for. Codes specify notional load models, generally to represent extreme levels of …
