ahab Isaac says:

I am currently doing a research project on bridge loading and when looking at vehicle loading I came across the eurocodes loading model 1 (HA loading) and there was an alpha factor which was the adjustment factor for the tandem system and the UDL what does the adjustment factor actually represent and why would an engineer use it?
Thanks a lot!

ahab Isaac says:

IN the HA loading or loading model 1 how do you adapt this model for different spans of bridges or is the model the same for different span lengths of bridges?
What would an engineer do to this model when wanting to work out the vehicle load for certain dimensions of a bridges?
Thanks
