摘要
The random vehicle flow parameters especially axle load correlation were analyzed based on the measured data of YI LU highway WIM in order to provide reference for the design load of bridge checking computations. A random vehicle flow simulation program was worked out by MATLAB. The load effect of random vehicle flow was analyzed by the influence line method, and the difference of load effect between considering the axle load correlation and without considering was discussed. Results show that axle load has the characteristics of multimodal distribution. There is a strong correlation between axle loads. Greater error will be caused when simulating random vehicle flow without considering the axle load correlation. The joint distribution function of vehicle axle load can accurately describe the joint distribution of vehicle axle load by using the nonparametric kernel density estimation-Copula method and using the t-Copula function as the connection function. The load effect considering the axle load correlation is 45% bigger than without considering, and it is closer to the representative value of measured traffic load effect. There is no significant difference between representative values of the load effect of the each lane random vehicle flow on the simply-supported beam bridge. Representative values of the load effect have exceeded the load effect of the current specification highway level I lane load, and the maximum effect ratio is 1.34. © 2019, Zhejiang University Press.
