CONTROL SYSTEM FOR HIGHWAY LOAD EFFECTS

摘要

The most important conclusions are:rn(a) The observed response is linear, which is confirmed by superposition of truck effects. The comparison of strain values for a single truck indicates that for two trucks side-by-side, the results are equal to superposition of single truck results.rn(b) The absolute value of measured strains is lower than expected. For a single truck, the maximum observed strain is less than 80 microstrains. This corresponds to 16 Mpa. For two trucks side-by-side, the maximum strain is 110 microstrains, which corresponds to 23 Mpa.
