Protocols for Collecting and Using Traffic Data in Bridge Design
This report provides a set of protocols and methodologies for using available recent truck traffic data to develop and calibrate vehicular loads for load and resistance factor design (LRFD) superstructure design, fatigue design, deck design, and design for overload permits. The protocols are geared to address the collection, processing, and use of national weigh-in-motion (WIM) data. The report also gives practical examples of implementing these protocols with recent national WIM data drawn from states/sites around the country with different traffic exposures, load spectra, and truck configurations. The material in this report will be of immediate interest to bridge engineers. This report replaces NCHRP Web Document 135.
