Limit State Design of Highway Bridges - a Study of the Implicatios with Particular Reference to Certain Examples
Analytical and experimental studies have been carried out at Imperial College into various aspects of limit state design when applied to highway bridges. To obtain an indication of the inherent load factors against the various appropriate limit states, three typical bridges were theoretically investigated. The predicted load factors were compared with those proposed for use with new design procedures.
