Moving Loads – Dynamic Analysis and Identification Techniques

Moving load problems occur in a wide variety of applications and as lightweight and high-strength materials continue to be popular, it is expected that vibration and instability problems caused by this structural loading will remain significant. _x005F_x000D_ This volume begins with detailed descriptions of the dynamic behavior of continuous beam, beam-slab type bridge decks, and multi-box spline bridge decks, under the passage of moving loads. It then addresses moving load identification problems with simple methods for universal application and with specialized techniques. A final chapter treats practical problems associated with moving load identification techniques.
