| Summary | In order to introduce the load and resistance factor design method for highway bridges, NILIM conducted the calibration of load factors based on time-series simulations using statistic data such as vehicle, earthquake and wind load. It was indicated that it is a possibility that can apply the load and resistance factor design method, because results of trial design based on the design have the similar performance as those based on the allowable stress design. |
