title = "A probability-based methodology for establishing non-extreme and extreme vertical load combinations for multi-hazard LRFD of bridges",
abstract = "The current probability-based AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications are fully calibrated against gravity dead load and truck load. However, it does not cover extreme load effects in a consistent fashion. In this paper, a methodology is described to combine extreme and non-extreme loads. To illustrate this method, common truck load and earthquake load combinations are used. This illustration quantitatively show that the current design practice is non-conservative if only considering peak truck load or peak earthquake load alone; and is too conservative if the design is based on the combined peak truck and earthquake.",
