Permit vehicles play an important role in our society, particularly in the construction and energy sectors. Due to their dimensions and/or weight, they generally require official approval. In this context, the BEM-ING 3-2 regulates the assessment of bridges for permit vehicles – both in terms of the assessment procedure and the traffic loads to be considered. However, the underlying traffic load models are based on a deterministic approach. To align the load model with the current state of the art, investigations are being carried out as part of a research project at the Chair of Concrete and Masonry Structures at the TUM. The aim is to develop a probabilistic approach that addresses the shortcomings of the current traffic load model defined in BEM-ING 3-2.
