Full Scale Testing of Steel Railway Bridges
Abstract Fundamental purposes of full scale bridge tests conducted by the Canadian National Railways (CNR) are bridge safety and serviceability. Results collected during these tests were of a broader sense and allowed the study of more general aspects of bridge behaviour under moving loads such as static and dynamic stresses and displacements, impact effects, vibrations and fatigue. This paper concentrates on major technical aspects of load, strain and displacement measurements, recording apparatus, signal processing techniques and evaluation of results. Samples of obtained results concerning three different bridge structures tested recently are presented and major conclusions discussed.
