Experimental safety evaluation of concrete and masonry bridges
During the last decade, the technology of in-situ experimental safety evaluation of structures has been significantly improved and extensively tested. The research work presented here resulted in technical achievements concerning methods and equipment for loading tests. Furthermore, corresponding technical guidelines were formulated. By using state-of-the-art measuring equipment the research team could successfully evaluate the structural safety and serviceability of approximately 300 structures, among them about 30 bridges. The experimental safety evaluation of structures appears to be a technical alternative if analytical approaches fail to prove sufficient structural safety. Especially in the case of concrete and masonry structures, by loading tests numerous structures could be saved from demolition and financial as well as environmental resources for their replacement could be saved. During the last decade, the technology of insitu structural testing has made significant progress. Results of this development are special mobile loading devices for road and railway bridges. Their usage allows to conduct loading tests more efficiently. The applicability of the new equipment has been proved by successfully testing several bridge structures.
