Abstract:Moses algorithm is one of the most reliable algorithms in bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) techniques, and is the basis of commercial BWIM systems. However, restricted by calibration of influence lines, the current commercial BWIM systems are only applicable to short-span bridges. Here, aiming at this situation, the virtual simply-supported beam method was proposed. With this method, the strain of an isolated section of a bridge was used to calculate the axle load and the weight of a vehicle not restricted by bridge span. The finite element models of two simply-supported T-beam bridges with spans of 20m and 40m were built, respectively. Based on the theory of vehicle-bridge coupled vibration, the two bridges’ responses when a vehicle passes through them were obtained. Then the proposed method was used to identify the axle load and the weight of a vehicle. The influences of road surface roughness and vehicle speed, etc. on the identified accuracy were analyzed. The results showed that for the T-beam bridge with a shorter span of 20m, the average identification errors for the weight of a three-axle vehicle and a five-axle one are about 2% and less than 1%, respectively, the accuracies are slightly higher than those using the traditional Moses algorithm; for the T-beam bridge with a longer span of 40m to which the traditional Moses algorithm is not applicable, the average identification errors for vehicles’ weights can be controlled within 3% by using the proposed method; so, the proposed method is not restricted by bridge span and has wider application prospects.
