Abstract
Many difficulties are encountered in investigating live-load effects on a bridge in the field. There is presented a description of such a full-scale investigation on the San Leandro Creek Bridge near Oakland, Calif. Among the difficulties are the effects of temperature and localized strain patterns. The use of dummy gages to compensate for temperature changes is described, and the limitations of such compensation are examined.
