Data are summarized and analyses made for identical test programs consisting of controlled heavy vehicle loadings made on a steel girder bridge, a prestressed concrete bridge and an aluminum bridge. Findings are based on strain and deflection readings measured at 48 critical points on each bridge. The test vehicle was driven at speeds from crawl to over 50 mph in prescribed paths with a load approximating that of an H20-S16 design vehicle. The results are compared with theoretical results to show the relationship of actual heavy vehicle loading effects to the assumed values used for design. (Author)
