The study aim was to develop a model to estimate how many trucks will be on a bridge simultaneously and in which lanes they will be traveling. Study sections selected included the expected range of the parameters that might affect the frequency of multiple truck loadings on bridges. Highways investigated were: two-lane two-way undivided, four-lane divided, and sixlane divided. Data were collected at midday, afternoon rush hour, and in the evening for seven section lengths ranging from 100 to 400 feet in 50-foot increments. The effect of truck speed, truck volume and total traffic on frequency of multiple truck loadings was also investigated. (Modified author abstract)
