Resumen:
This study is focused on the statistical characterization of live load effects on bridges using weigh-in-motion data from a Mexican highway. A truck load model that is simpler than the design truck model implemented in the current Mexican requirements is suggested for design. The statistics are employed in target-reliability based calibration and verification of load factors in Mexican bridge design. Suggestions that could be useful for the Canadian bridge engineering practice are included. © 2015, National Research Council of Canada, All Rights Reserved.
