Abstract：Research purposes: The paper specially introduces the specifications in BS5400 PART 2 for loads and combination of loads. It provides necessary data for loads exchange calculation when BS code is adopted to design bridges with Chinese computer software. It helps our civil engineers to better understand the specifications of BS5400 far loads and combination and to know more about the international construction market as well.
Research methods: This paper makes a cooperation on BS5400 and Chinese general code for design of highway bridges and culverts(JTG D60 2004)，and gives their difference and sameness. It will enhance to understand BS5400 specification for loads and combination.
Research Conclusions: It is similar between BS5400 HA and Chinese lane loads; as well as HB and Chinese vehicle loads; BS5400 HA and HB can be combined, however, the effect of lane loading and vehicle loading can not be superposed in JTG D60 2004. On the view of the total effect of loading, it focuses on safety in BS5400 codes; while for Chinese code, more consideration is given for economical result.
