Bridge load limit monitoring is a major problem in the Philippines. Since this was not implemented strictly, the structural integrity of the bridges was affected hence it resulted to frequent maintenance, retrofitting of strucutral members and collapse. The integrity of the bridge continously decreases through time once the maximum load limit was experienced by the structure. Therefore, this study aims to emphasize the importance of traffic load monitoring in conducting structural health assessment of bridges aside from earthquake and mass loads. The 7.7% increase in the flexure stress of the bridge deck indicates that truck loading has a significant effect on the bridge. In addition for this, variation on the truck volume for peak hours and non peak hours will correlate to the reading of the smart sensor attached on the bridge for structural health monitoring.
