Lifetime fatigue reliability evaluation of short to medium span bridges under site-specific stochastic truck loading
Bridges are vulnerable to the fatigue damage accumulation caused by traffic loading over the service period. A continuous growth in both the vehicle weight and the traffic volume may cause a safety hazard to existing bridges. This study presented a computational framework for probabilistic modeling...
