- This work represents a step-change in vehicle-bridge dynamic analysis, including in the numerical model realistic misalignments in the bridge joints and novel time- and space-domain filtering effects in the vehicle-induced vibrations. The proposed methodology is presented with generality and then it is applied to the study of typical road bridges subject to a large number of traffic excitations. The contribution of different vibration modes to the dynamic response of bridges depending on different design choices is explored. This led to the proposal of numerous design guidelines to maximise the comfort of users in road bridges.
