Sensitivity Analysis of Load Factor for Bridge Design Based on Earthquake and Truck Loads
Abstract eng: Bridge design specifications in the United States calibrate common loads and single extreme loads, but do not consider multiple hazards. They also do not provide a probabilistic basis for single extreme loads, particularly seismic loads. Previous research has provided a framework for analyzing multiple hazards, load combinations, and determination of load factors. This paper presents sensitivity analysis for seismic and truck load factors, based on partial failure probabilities and a limit state framework. A typical bridge case study was employed to analyze the influence of different factors when subjected to earthquake and truck loads. Different load factors were obtained through varying the load parameters.
