Abstract
In many studies, the dynamic response of bridges is influenced by various factors. Multiple factors, such as vehicle loads, road roughness, vehicle-bridge interactions, and travel speed, impact the dynamics of a three-span bridge on highways. Because the mass of the vehicle, including the cargo, fluctuates randomly, a probabilistic methodology based on the Monte Carlo method is utilized to produce random anomalies for dynamic analysis. To examine the Song Gieng bridge, data from the Road Administration Department IV on heavy vehicle loads and overloaded vehicles are utilized to produce random vehicle loads. The analytical results indicate that there is a discrepancy in the probability distribution rules between the vehicle load (input random variable) and the dynamic impact factor (output random variable). This implies that their mapping connection is not monotone. Compared with the threshold values specified in the bridge design standards of Vietnam and the United States, the dynamic impact factor obtained in this study is significantly different. These findings can provide additional guidance for practicing engineers.
