Abstract:

This study involved statistical evaluation of heavy truck loads that were recorded in 2007 using Weigh-In-Motion ; stations located throughout the State of Wisconsin. The heaviest 5% of all trucks in each class and axle groupings were ; selected for further analyses. Best fit unimodal and multimodal distributions for all axle loads and spacings in each truck ; class were determined. Multivariate Monte Carlo simulations using the marginal distributions and empirical copulas ; were performed to assess maximum moments and shears in simply supported bridges. Moments and shears due to the ; 250-kip Wisconsin Permit Vehicle were compared with simulation results. The multivariate Monte Carlo simulations of ; truck loadings can be used to assess the reliability of bridges and pavements as well as detailed fatigue analyses.
