Bridge Load Test

Bridge Load Test

A bridge load test is a crucial procedure conducted during the construction, maintenance, or assessment of a bridge to ensure its structural integrity and safety under realistic loading conditions. The test helps verify that the bridge can safely support the anticipated traffic loads, including both static (non-moving) and dynamic (moving) loads, and that the bridge design is appropriate for its intended use.

  • Bridge Type and Design: The test should be tailored to the specific type of bridge (e.g., beam, arch, suspension, etc.) and its design parameters.
  • Safety: The safety of workers and the public is a primary consideration during the test. All activities are conducted under controlled conditions, often with restrictions on traffic or bridge use.
