Possible 3D Bridge Model for Modeling of Moving Load Effect

Abstract

The presented article deals with the numerical solution of the bridge response to the effects of moving loads. Introduces possible computational models of the vehicle. It analyzes two bridge models, a beam model, and a slab model. It derives the equations of motion in the form of differential equations and solves them numerically. It compares the results obtained for individual models and it uses the results of experimental in situ measurements to verify the numerically obtained results.
