Many trucks carry loads in excess of design limits. This may lead to fatigue failure. The information concerning actual load is very important for the rating of bridges. Therefore, there is a need for accurate and inexpensive methods to determine the actual loads, the strength of the bridge, and its remaining life. There is also a need for verification of live load used for the development of a new generation of bridge design codes [1,2]. It has been confirmed that truck loads are strongly site specific [3,4,5]. Some bridges carry heavy truck tra
