Bumping into a bridge

The “bump at the end of the bridge” is caused by a phenomenon known as differential settlement. This occurs when the soil embankment that supports the approach roadway settles more than the deeply founded bridge stru...

The Impact of a Bump on the Response of a Bridge to Traffic

This paper uses planar vehicle-bridge interaction models to assess the increase in shear effects at the supports that a bump prior to the bridge may cause. Results for a range of bumps, bridge lengths,

Bridge Damage Identification Using Vehicle Bump Based on
