RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PLANNING AND CONDUCT OF LOADING TESTS ON HIGHWAY BRIDGES
RECOMENDACIONES PARA EL PROYECTO Y EJECUCION DE PRUEBAS DE CARGA EN PUENTES DE CARRETERA
These recommendations represent an attempt at standardizing the technical and economic aspects of loading tests on highway bridges. They outline the aim and field of application of the tests, give a classification of bridges as a function of loading tests, possible reduction in the case of structures with identical spans, the organization of the tests, documents to be drafted, execution of the tests (time, measuring apparatus, weather conditions, reference points), additional tests, and a summary of the test report. Three appendices give the definitions used, describe the standard loading test, and give an example of a tender. /TRRL/
