โฆ Synopsis
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the eect of longitudinal grade on the vibration of highway bridges. The bridges are modeled as grillage beam systems. The vehicle is simulated as a nonlinear vehicle model with 11 independent degrees of freedom according to the HS20-44 truck design loading speciยฎed in the American Associate of State Highway and Transportation Ocials (AASHTO) speciยฎcations. A good road surface roughness generated from the power spectral density function for the approach roadways and bridge decks is used in the analysis. Two types of longitudinal grade shape with six dierent grades ranging from 1% to 6% are analyzed. The dynamic responses of three steel multigirder bridges with dierent span lengths due to multiple vehicles moving across rough bridge decks with dierent vehicle speeds are evaluated. The analytic results are useful for practical bridge design.

The problem of vertical non-linear vibrations of a single-span suspension bridge due to a random stream of moving vehicles is considered. The inertia forces of car bodies and vehicle suspensions are taken into account because each vehicle is idealized by a set of viscoelastic oscillators. Vehicle ar
An analytical method for determining natural frequencies and mode shapes of torsional vibration of suspension bridges is developed by using the linearized deflection theory. This method takes into account the effect of gravitational stiffness due to dead loads of the stiffening girders, and its effe
