The dynamic loading on a multi-lane continuous bridge deck due to vehicles moving on top at a constant velocity is investigated. The bridge is modelled as a multi-span continuous orthotropic rectangular plate with line rigid intermediate supports. The vehicle is simulated as a two-axle three-dimensi

โฆ Synopsis
A method is presented to identify moving loads on a bridge deck modelled as an orthotropic rectangular plate. The dynamic behavior of the bridge deck under moving loads is analyzed using the orthotropic plate theory and modal superposition principle, and Tikhonov regularization procedure is applied to provide bounds to the identi"ed forces in the time domain. The identi"ed results using a beam model and a plate model of the bridge deck are compared, and the conditions under which the bridge deck can be simpli"ed as an equivalent beam model are discussed. Computation simulation and laboratory tests show the e!ectiveness and the validity of the proposed method in identifying forces travelling along the central line or at an eccentric path on the bridge deck.

In many practical situations, it is difficult to perform direct measurements or calculations of the external forces acting on an existing vibrating structure. Instead, the structural response may then be measured and the position and magnitude of the exciting forces be calculated from the measured r
This paper deals with the linear dynamic response of a simply supported light (steel) bridge under a moving vehicle of constant magnitude and velocity. This analysis focuses attention on the usually neglected in#uence of the centripetal force, Coriolis force and vehicle's rotatory inertia. The indiv
The vertical dynamic responses of a simply supported bridge subjected to a moving train are investigated by means of the modal analysis method. Each vehicle of train is modelled as a four-degree-offreedom mass-spring-damper multi-rigid body system with a car body and two wheelsets. The bridge, toget
