Paper 1: Results are presented of an analytical study of the dynamic behavior of simple-span highway bridges traversed by heavy vehicles. Paper 2: Inasmuch as many highway bridges are now being built with elastomeric bearings, it was considered desirable to study the vibration effects of such bridges. Paper 3: The method and procedure used in a digital computer program are described to find horizontal and vertical movements of all joints of a truss, given the member stresses and the structure properties. Paper 4: Results are summarized of tests made to demonstrate the effect of details on the fatigue behavior of welded flexural members.
