    Abstract

    The present paper worked out as a part of a research project on "Dynamic amplification factor of vehicle loadings on smaller bridges" establishes a two-dimensional spectral description of the road roughness surface based on measurements from a Danish road using so-called Profilograph used by Danish Road Directorate. The stochastic model for the surface irregularities models, based on observations from the measured data, the deterministic trends in transversal (wheel tracking) as well as longitudinal direction (some longwaved tendency). Further the bumps/expansion joints at the approaches to the bridge and the stochastic nature of the surface roughness are included into the model.
