Influence of moving load, structure, temperature gradient, and wheel configuration on load transfer efficiency
… the interaction of pavement with vehicular loads and climatic conditions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) uses a mechanistic design procedure, FAARFIELD, for the design of rigid airport pavements. The FAARFIELD (FAA Rigid and Flexible Iterative Elastic Layer Design) procedure is …

The First Moving Load Simulator for Testing Bridges in Canada and its Application on a Full Scale Precast Box Girder
This thesis describes the development of a unique Moving Load Simulator (MLS) for testing bridge superstructure with a footprint up to 4x17 m, and its first application to test a full scale B900 prestressed concrete box girder. The aim of the experiment was to verify that the MLS can apply cyclic …

Testing of the suspended vehicle system scale model
… determine the behavior of the structure to dead loads. Free vibration tests indicated the fundamental structural frequencies, and moving load tests measured the response of the system to moving vehicle conditions. Although no theoretical analysis is presented, an analysis was carried out …

Resposta dinâmica de estruturas reticuladas a cargas móveis, pelo método dos elementos finitos
… the dynamic behavior of framed structures under moving loads by means of the finite element method. Three different types of loadings are idealized and impact factors determined for them, being developed computer programs for dynamic analysis of beams and plane frames. The structure-loading …

Forced vibration and hygrothermal analysis of composite laminated beams under the action of moving loads
… glass/epoxy composite beams subjected to moving loads in a hygrothermal environment is carried out using the general purpose finite element program ANSYS. The moving load model and the hygrothermal incorporation are validated separately by reproducing results available in the literature. …

Hydroelastic waves and their interaction with fixed structures
… towards the structures or be generated by a moving load. All aspects of the subsequent interaction are studied in detail. The elastic plate is clamped to the fixed vertical structures to model an ice sheet frozen to the structure boundary. Both linear and nonlinear formulations are admitted …

Analysis of tire-pavement interaction and pavement responses using a decoupled modeling approach
… is important for the accurate analysis of load-induced stresses and strains in the pavement structure. This dissertation focuses on the analysis of the mechanism of tire-pavement interaction and the effect of tire-pavement interaction on pavement responses using a decoupled modeling …

Dynamic response of highway bridges under a moving truck and development of a rational serviceability requirement
… to evaluate dynamic response of bridges under a moving truck load. The effect of bridge dynamic parameters and vehicle moving conditions are investigated, which includes bridge frequency, damping ratio, span length, girders distance, bracing, support conditions, truck speed, load sequence, axle's …

Analysis and comparison of the South African and Eurocode live load models for railway bridges
… Transport Services (SATS) and Eurocode (EC) live load models for railway bridges. The study is specifically concerned with the critical load effects of shear and bending moment. The load models are simulated as moving loads over the full length of simply supported and continuous railway systems …
