Abstract

This paper presents the identification of highway traffic loading on the suspension Tsing Ma Bridge (TMB) based on the weigh-in-motion (WIM) data collected in 2007. One year of monitoring data is analyzed in terms of vehicle traffic count, vehicle traffic composition, as well as highway loading distribution including axle load distribution and gross vehicle weight (GVW) distribution. The results show that the total vehicles travelling on the TMB are much lower than those specified in the design. The highway load spectra, including both the axle load spectrum and GVW spectrum, are formulated by using the monitoring data, and compared with the load spectrum given in BS5400 and the design load spectrum. The load spectra derived from the WIM data are quite close to those stipulated in BS5400. In particular, both are on the safe side as compared with the design load spectrum.
