In this paper, the effects of random road surface roughness and vehicular speed, lane position on the impact effect due to moving vehicles are investigated. For simplicity, the bridge and moving vehicles are simulated as two separate elastic structures. Two sets of equations of motion can be written with the adoption of virtual work principle and finite element method. The displacement equation and...
