Effects of road surface roughness on the dynamic impact factor of bridge are investigated through full-scale field loading tests under controlled traffic conditions. The dynamic time histories of displacements are obtained for twenty-five bridges on Korean highways. The impact factors of the bridges are evaluated by using the measured displacements. The road surface profiles of the twenty-five bridges are also measured at every 10 to 30 cm interval in the span direction. By using the measured road surface profiles, the international roughness index (IRI) and the roughness coefficients of the bridges are evaluated. The linear regression and correlation analyses are performed to obtain the coherences between the IRI and the roughness coefficient and between the IRI and the impact factor. The sample correlation coefficients between the impact factor and the IRI and between the impact factor and the roughness coefficient are calculated to be 0.61 and 0.62, respectively, showing a strong coherence between the road surface roughness and the impact factor.Key words: bridge, impact factor, road surface roughness, international roughness index, roughness coefficient.

A computerized method is presented for computing the dynamic responses of bridges under moving vehicles. The bridge and vehicle are treated as integrated system and modal superposition method is applied to transfer the equation of motion into modal coordinate system. The road roughness/unevenness is also considered. The effects of different vehicle models, vehicle passing speed and road surface roughness on bridge dynamic responses are studied. The impact factor representing the dynamic effect of passing vehicle is calculated for different road surface roughness

A general numerical simulation method is presented for the analysis of the dynamic interaction problem between a large-span concrete culvert, discretized by a plane strain finite element model (FEM), and a dynamic system of vehicle traversing at various speeds. The vehicle is represented as a mass-spring-damper FEM system with seven degrees of freedom. The time-variable coupled dynamic system is solved by a step-by-step solution technique using Newmark’s integration scheme. The backfill soil elastic modulus is modeled as varying linearly with depth below the ground surface. Several numerical examples are investigated by modifying different parameters such as backfill height and road surface stiffness, respectively. The dynamic displacement response for the mid-span point of the concrete culverts is analyzed, as well as the displacement impact factor. The research results demonstrate that the impact factor changes with the vehicle speed and strongly depends on the road surface roughness conditions.

The purpose of this paper, for which a finite element bridge model with 7 degrees of freedom per node and the 1/4 vehicle model with six parameters were established, is to analyze the dynamic response of curved girder bridges under vehicular loads. In the numerical simulation, the vibration characteristics of simply-supported curved girder bridge are analyzed, and the effect to the impact factors were also studied for different radiuses of curvature, eccentricities, ratios between bending and torsion stiffness, and vehicle speeds. The simulated results show that not all the first 5 natural frequencies increase with the variation of radius of curvature. The impact factor variations of vertical deflection and torsion angle are not uniform when parameters changed, and the impact factor of torsion angle would be much larger than that of vertical deflection under the same conditions.

This paper studies the dynamic response and the impact factor of the concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) arch bridge named Hejiang River Bridge under the moving vehicles. Research shows that the impact factor of CFST arch bridge at the vault and 1/4 arch rib is greatly influenced by the road surface roughness (RSR), and it is increased with the grade of RSR increases, meanwhile it is different at apiece section position of the arch bridge. The impact factor doesn't vary monotonically with the speed of vehicle, it appears the maximum when the speed of vehicle is between 20-25 km/h and 35-50 km/h, and the impact factors of different cross-sections are not just the same with the changing regularity of speed. Therefore, the dynamic characteristics of different structural components should be calculated in designing CFST arch bridge for discrepant dynamic characteristics of various constructional elements.
