Live loads for roadway bridges
Scope of DIN EN 1991-2:
• Span lengths <200 m• Roadway widths < 42 m
In other cases, bridge specific load assumptions shall be made, because recommendations according to EC1, may be too conservative.
Impact factors and mutiple presence factors are already included in the live load model definitions.

Notional lanes
In general, notional lanes have a width, we = 3 m.
For narrower roadway widths, the notional lanes width are defined according to Table 4.1, below.

Concrete bridges
Notional lanes
For the general case, where wo ≥ 6m, the number of notional lanes, „n“, is defined as:
n = integer (wo/we)
where:
wo: width of roadway (distance between curbs with h≥7 cm)we: width of nomimal lane = 3 m
The reamining area is called the „residual area.“
But, how is the roadway width actually defined?

Live load models
Live load models are composed of a combination of double axle load (tandem system), that represent an idealized design truck, and uniform distributed loads that account for the effect of cars, smaller trucks or crowds of people.
•Loads are further modified by adjustment factors that may be defined by each country. •The applicability of the load models can also be further defined by each country. •In the case of Germany, factors in the Eurocode for the load model 1 are overrided by the values given in the national German annex.•Load models 2 and 3 are not considered in Germany. It is assumed that load model 2 is included in load model 1. •The effect of special trucks on the existing and aging infrastructure, such as those considered in model 3, is still being investigated in Germany, and for now, there are not freely allowed on roads.

Live load models
Live load models shall be applied to create the worse adverse effect.
Different live load models may be combined when required by the geometry of the bridge and the use of the structure (pedestrian loads for example).
Live load model 4 shall only be considered as a transient condition, for global checks.

Characteristic values of axle loads Qik, include each a pair of wheel loads. In the case of model 1, the wheel are assumed to have a tire contact area of 0.4 m x 0.4 m. For load model 2, the tire contact are is assumed to be 0.35 m x 0.6 m. The adjustment factors given in th Eurocode (shown below) are superseded.

Worst live load effects
Live load effects are ussually maximized (or minimized) by proper placement of live load to create maximum (or minimum) effects.
This is usually done with the help of influence lines

Muller Breslau Principle
The influence line follows the profile of the deflected shape of a structure generated by releasing the restraint corresponding to the action and applying a unit displacement or rotation in the direction of the action.

Worst live load effects
Live load effects are ussually maximized (or minimized) by proper placement of live load to create maximum or minimum effects.
Notice the difference between the following terms (as related for example to moment)
Moment Diagram – Moment at every point in the structure when a load is placed at a fixed location.
Influence line for maximum moment at a given point – Moment at a single pointcreated by a unit load moving along the length of the structure.
Moment envelope – Compilation of all maximum load effects along the length of the structure, created by various load combinations that maximize the effect at each point.

Moment Envelope due to lane load
In this table, coefficient values have been normalized, with respect to the shortest length span L1, and by the use of a unit load. Therefore, the actual resulting in a given structure, with a shortest span = L1, longest span L2= 1.2 . L1due to a:concentrated load =P, or uniform load = wis given by:
Moment:M= P.(coefficient). L1
M=w.(coefficient).L12
ShearV= P.(coefficient)V= w. (coefficient)
