Load Testing for Bridge Rating: Dean's Mill Over Hannacrois Creek
The report discusses testing and load rating of the bridge carrying Dean's Mill Road over the Hannacrois Creek in Greene County, New York (County Bridge BIN 3201350). The bridge was built in 1961, and consists of five 70-ft long post-tensioned bulb-T beams connected by 8-inch wide closure pours. No documents or plans for the structure are available. The bridge deck is topped with an asphalt overlay for a riding surface. It is a single span structure, has two traffic lanes, and an AADT of approximately 650 vehicles. Pressed by the public's demand to accommodate school bus traffic on the bridge, the County approached the New York State Department of Transportation on how to respond to the pressing demand. The County agreed to a load testing plan proposed by the Transportation Research and Development Bureau. The plan was based on investigating actual behavior of the structure under controlled truck loading. The bridge was instrumented and load tested using trucks of known weights and configurations positioned at specified locations on the deck, to gradually increase their load effect on the structure. The load testing results gave actual stiffness of the bridge beams and revealed the level of fixity at the bridge abutments.
