LOAD AND RESISTANCE FACTORS FOR LONG SPANS

The new Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (1996) covers long span bridges. The live load model developed for long spans is based on the ASCE 30% truck values. The live load factor accounts for varying dead load to live load ratios. Resistance factors for cable supported bridges are based on safety levels of existing bridges of this type.
