Using weigh-in-motion data to determine bridge dynamic amplification factor

The dynamic component of bridge traffic loading is commonly taken into account with a Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF) – the ratio between the maximum dynamic and static load effects on a bridge. In the design codes, this factor is generally higher than in reality. While this is fine for new bridg...
