Impact of mobile cranes on short span bridges
he abnormal load management guideline which is currently being used in South Africa is TRH 11. This guideline is based on provisions developed in the 1970s. Design guidelines and traffic loading have changed since then thereby highlighting the need to develop a new abnormal load management system. …
