Identification of Moving Loads using Influence Surface

Highway bridges are important infrastructures for national transportation systems. However, due to overweight trucks frequently moving on highways, highway structures have been gradually damaged and economical loss has grown severe. To maintain a highway bridge safe and sound, properties and loading characteristics of passing trucks on the bridge must be evaluated WIM(Weigh-In-Motion) systems have been developed by many research groups for multiple purposes. Most of the developed WIM systems have applied moment influence lines to identify loading characteristics. Since passing trucks are dynamic loads, however, the identified loads by the influence lines for static loads cannot represent the actual situation correctly. The current research investigates the effects of problem of different loading characteristics on load identification and proposes a new algorithm using the concept of moment influence surface. A numerical simulation study is carried out.
