Abstract

In contrast to the Swiss load model used for new bridge structures (SIA 261), which has roots in a Europe-wide weigh-in-motion (WIM) study and considers the full design life of new structures, the model for existing structures (SIA 269) from 2005 is derived from load effects produced by traffic measured by country-specific WIM observations and considers a reduced return period.
