heal.abstract	Due to the numerous experimental and analytical studies in the literature that either contradict or support AASHTO practices, the validity of the current AASHTO code practices accounting for vehicle-bridge interaction was studied. The dynamic load factor (DLF) was evaluated experimentally and analytically for a commonly used bridge system. Bridges were instrumented and measurements were taken for test vehicle. The dynamic strains and accelerations recorded were compared with the ones recommended by the AASHTO code. Results show that DLF greatly depends on the traveling path of the vehicle and that AASHTO code recommendations are not conservative for all paths of the vehicle.	en
