Nowadays, with the aging of the bridges and the advancements in technology, load testing
has emerged as an effective method to assess existing concrete bridges with missing …

In this paper, the performance of a precast-prestressed box-beam bridge that had been in
service for more than 50 years was investigated using a series of static and dynamic load …

Efficient and reliable load-carrying capacity evaluation of deficient bridges is essential for
bridge maintenance and management. Based on load-carrying capacity evaluation of an …

The paper sheds light on the process of creating and validating the digital twin of bridges,
emphasizing the crucial role of load testing, BIM models, and FEM models. At first, the paper …

As the existing bridge stock is aging, the task of assessing these bridges becomes
increasingly important. One of the assessment methods for existing bridges is load testing …

Measurements of displacements of bridges under dynamic load are particularly difficult in
the case of structures where access to the area under the tested structure is impossible …

The bridges built during the development of the Dutch road network after the Second World
War are reaching their originally devised service life. A large subset of the Dutch bridge …
