1. Concrete Bridges : Improved Load Capacity
Abstract : There are many beautiful old structures around the world, some of which were designed for completely different purposes than their current applications. For example, Swedish railway bridges were only designed to carry axle loads up to 200 kN in the beginning of the 20th century, while modern loads can be twice as high. READ MORE

3. On the dynamics of footbridges : A theoretical approach and a comparison between running and walking loads
Abstract : The dynamic behaviour of lightweight footbridges is often susceptible to HumanInduced Loads (HILs). Generally HILs are taken into account as moving harmonicfunctions in which the loading frequency represents the step frequency of the pedestrians. READ MORE

4. Modelling of Traffic Loads on Bridges Based on Measurements of Real Traffic Loads in Sweden
Abstract : This thesis treats traffic load effects in road bridges and in particular bending moment and shear force in different types of bridges. All traffic load effects are described in terms of statistical distribution functions for annual extreme values. READ MORE

5. Soil-Steel Composite Bridges : Research advances and application
Abstract : Soil-steel composite bridges are considered competitive structures being an economical alternative to similar span concrete bridges. This frequently stimulates practitioners to push their design limits and expand the different areas of application including their performance in sloping terrain. READ MORE
