Statistical parameters for bridge structures
Statistical parameters for bridge structures
(OP)
Hi all,
which resources I can refer to for up to date statistical parameters (mean, COV,...) of bridge structures for various load (LL,DL) and resistances models (R) .
I need it for carrying out some reliability analysis.

I've seen many referred to the calibration of LRFD Bridge Design Code NCHRP by Nowak, this is really good reference. I need similar reference by with more updated statistical parameters. I've also looked up reliability books but all of them cited reports in 90's. There must be some new database developed from Weight-in-motion data/field testing in some states in which they used it for some Code calibration or proposed changes to existing code.

I'm sure you know some people working on reliability analysis, specially engineers from US.
Cheers,

There are many related to bridge assessment and reliability. Previous conference papers are also available from the same site.
