live load computation for bridges
(OP)
I would like to learn live load calculation for bridge design. Is there any book or website I can browse and see a step by step approach.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

Generally the live load calculations are based on type of analysis (Approx methods or Plate analysis etc) and corresponding codal previsions. And also now day’s most of the bridge analysis is doing using software’s. in that case “ if you are using hi-end elements like plate, there is no much of difficult to finding out live load” anyway if you are expecting examples you may get details from Design of Bridge Engineers by Dr.Jonson Victor” and also you refer for more details for Bridge loads on varies international code in on of the Research Engineers Product STAAD.beava” www.reiworld.com.

"Bridge Design for the Civil and Structural Professional Engineering
Exams" by Robert H. Kim, MSCE, PE and Jai B. Kim, Phd, PE
I am not sure where you can get a copy. i ordered my copy through local inter-library loan. go to the library of congress to find out more info on the book.
