(OP)
i want to know how to convert moving axle loads of vehicles into equivalent uniformly distributed load ? i want those to check the stability of existing bridges.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

The reason I ask, I have noticed on occasion, riding a bicycle over pedestrian bridges, that you seem to get noticeably more bounce in the bridge at certain speeds, and didn't know if this was ever an issue on "real" bridges?

Resonances were not quite ignored in bridge design until 'Galloping Gertie' fell.

Thank you All for the responses!

The exact method of conversion I can't comment on, but I would guess it is point loads divided by typical length of car.

If you want to account for dynamic load, just increase the axle loads accordingly.

i checked the web page of prof. yelda Turkann but couldnt find that software. can u guide me how to get it?
thanks!

in case of longer spans, more than the length of locomotive(s), the trailing loads may become significant.

Just remove the space between the . and the xls.
Hope this helps.
