Over the past century, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)-specified live loads have been evolving to catch up with the ever-changing knowledge and trends of vehicular traffic. The latest loads are based on past Canadian traffic data, and may not represent modern or future traffic conditions in some US jurisdictions. Today, weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems can provide a solution to this dilemma by providing valuable site-specific traffic data for bridge design and evaluation, weight-limit enforcement, and the likelihood of illegally overloaded trucks causing premature bridge deterioration. Bridge owners have long recognized the importance of incorporating site- or state-specific truck loads in their bridge evaluation and preservation programs. The AASHTO LRFD and LRFR Bridge Specifications have evolved to advance the trend toward information-sensitive specification formulation. When warranted, the specified live loads can be enhanced utilizing more relevant site or...
