FYI--this is just meant to be a helpful thread; I don't have a question.
See attached MDOT report no. R-1529, which includes the 1930 Westergaard report, "Computation of Stresses in Bridge Slabs Due to Wheel Loads" in the appendix.
Additional links to the same report (for sake of redundancy):

Transportation Research Board: [URL unfurl="true"]https://trid.trb.org/view/935403[/url]
MDOT, look for report no. SPR-1529: [URL unfurl="true"]https://Michigan Department of Transportation Complete List of SPR-II Research Reports[/url]
I've read through multiple threads on Eng-Tips regarding vehicle loads on bridge decks or elevated slabs. The 1930 Westergaard report is often cited, but it can be difficult to find. There was a link to the report in one past thread, but the link no longer works. This thread is my attempt at helping folks that have been searching for the report like I have. I couldn't find the original report on its own, but I found it in the appendix of a MDOT report.
