Multiple parton collisions will represent a rather common feature in pp collisions at the LHC, where regimes with very large momentum transfer may be studied and events rare in lower energy accelerators might occur with a significant rate. A reason of interest in large p_t regimes is that, differently from low p_t, evolution will induce correlations in x in the multiparton structure functions. We have estimated the cross section of multiple production of W bosons with equal sign, where the correlations in x induced by evolution are particularly relevant, and the cross section of b-bar_b b-bar_b production, where the effects of evolution are much smaller. Our result is that, in the case of multiple production of W bosons, the terms with correlations may represent a correction of the order of 40% of the cross sections, for pp collisions at 1 TeV c.m. energy, and a correction of the order of 20% at 14 TeV. In the case of b-bar_b pairs the correction terms are of the order of 10-15% at 1 TeV and of the order of 5% at 14 TeV.
