Abstract
AbstractThe paper deals with background studies on definition and calibration of fatigue traffic load models for road bridges in Eurocode 1: Part 2 Traffic Loads on Bridges. Starting from real traffic data measurements, the derivation of the load models is illustrated step by step, emphasizing the peculiarities of the calibration methods adopted in prenormative research. The basic assumptions as well as the main features, the accuracy and the philosophy of each load model are discussed, and important questions pertaining to vehicle interactions, not fully clarified in the Eurocode, are tackled and solved in a general way, in the framework of queueing theory.
