In this study simple and manageable closed form expressions are obtained for the mean value, the spectral density function and the standard deviation of the deflection induced by stochastic moving loads on bridge–like structures. As basic case, a simply supported beam is considered, loaded by a sequence of concentrated forces moving in the same direction, with random instants of arrival, constant random crossing speeds and constant random amplitudes. The loads are described by three stochastic processes, representing an idealization of vehicular traffic on a bridge in case of negligible inertial coupling effects between moving masses and structure. System’s responses are analytically determined in terms of mean values and power spectral density functions, yielding standard deviations, with the possibility to easily extend the results to more refined models of single span bridge–like structures. Potential applications regard structural analysis, vibration control and condition monitoring of traffic excited bridges.
