Study of the Impacts of Implements of Husbandry on Bridges Volume I: Live Load Distribution Factors and Dynamic Load Allowances
The Institute for Transportation at Iowa State University has released a report that develops guidance about how husbandry loads are resisted by traditional bridges, with a specific focus on bridges commonly found on the secondary road system: steel-concrete, steel-timber, and timber-timber. This report also provides recommendations for accurately analyzing bridges for these loading effects, and offers suggestions for the rating and posting of these bridges.
