ABSTRACT

Impact of Load on bridge which is caused due to the moving of vehicles. When the traffic is in the moving position then load will be changed time to time according to the loading capacities which result as impact load on the bridge. Mainly 3 kinds of load which will be act on the bridge structure are as dead load, live load and dynamic load.Dead load refers to the weight of the bridge itself. Like any other structure, a bridge has a tendency to collapse simply because of the gravitational forces acting on the materials of which the bridge is made. Primary functions of a ridge will be to carry traffic loads like heavy traffic,trucks,cars and trains engineers must be estimate the traffic loading on the bridge.
