Questions and Answers

What are the main factors influencing the dynamic behavior of a bridge?

  • Temperature, horizontal forces, and material deformation
  • Division of surface into lanes, vehicle geometry, and load values
  • Traffic characteristics, vehicle speed, and surface roughness (correct)
  • Wind impact, load standards, and annual growth rate of traffic

When should the impact of wind on the bridge structure be considered?
