Title: Load Tests on Bridges
Issue Date: 2023
Abstract: This chapter presents an overview on the state-of-the-art procedures for load tests on bridges and on the applicable sensing and data acquisition technologies. Best practices for the planning, preparation and execution of load tests are presented. The discussion is supported by practical applications in which the authors have been involved during the last 20 years. Selected case studies are used to illustrate the role of load tests during commissioning of new bridges, during rehabilitation works and as part of the assessment of existing bridges.
