Technical Memorandum (Bridges) BE 1/77 Standard Highway Loadings
This Technical Memorandum is a revision of BE 5/73: Standard Highway Loadings and is closely based on B116/2 draft loading requirements as consistent with the current elastic stress basis of design for which this Memorandum is intended to be used. It is anticipated that this document will continue to be used during a transition period after B116 has been published and before the changeover to limit state design has been made fully effective.
B116/2 has not been fully implemented. Until further notice therefore, traffic live loading shall continue to be in accordance with BS153:Specification for steel girder bridges: Part 3A loads:1972.
