NUMERICAL DATA BASE ON ROADWAY ROUGHNESS OF HIGHWAY BRIDGES

In this paper, the numerical data base (BINS) on roadway roughness of highway bridges is presented. The BINS is composed of the data bases (BINS 1 and BINS 2) of two kinds on longitudinal roughness and roughness of expansion joint point based on the roughness data measured by the authors. The BINS is supported by IBM computer 370/3090, and is made by EXEC I/O procedure using REXX language. IBM computer VM/SP above re-lease 4 is possible to use the system of the BINS.The applied examples of the BINS are presented to quantitatively investigate the characteristics of roadway roughness, and to give the technical data using the vibration problems of highway bridges under moving vehicles.
