ABSTRACT
A single span bridge is considered in order to investigate the dynamic effect on the maximum deflection due to the effect of different parameters. The parameters considered are: type of supports (hinged-hinged or simply supported), the damping ratio, natural frequency, bridge Span, stiffness of vehicles tires and suspension springs, weight of the moving vehicle, the vehicle speed, and the unevenness of the bridge deck and its profile.
