Comparison of the fatigue load model of road bridges in Croatia corresponding to EC

The fatigue analysis of road bridges requires specific traffic data, such as stress-range spectrum and percentage of vehicle types. Eurocode proposes the fatigue load model with using actual traffic data which are suitable for countries of the European community. The fatigue load model is obtained on the basis of statistical data of road traffic in Croatia, which is different from the Eurocode model (EC model). The fatigue load model obtained in Croatia (CRO model) results in a lower stress-range spectrum than the EC model.
