Assessment of Prestress Force in Bridges Using Structural Dynamic Responses under Moving Vehicles

This study carries out numerical simulations to identify the magnitude of prestress force in a highway bridge by making use of the dynamic responses from moving vehicular loads. The prestressed bridges are modeled using four-node isoparametric flat shell element taking into account the transverse sh...
