The main purpose of damage inspection of the bridge components is to ensure the safety of a bridge and to identify any maintenance, repair, or strengthening which that need to be carried out. The essential damages that occur in reinforced concrete bridge include different type of cracks, scalling and spalling of concrete, corrosion of steel reinforcement, deformation, excessive deflection, and stain. The main objectives of this study are to inspect the appearance of Jiamusi highway prestressed concrete bridge and describe all the damages in the bridge structural components, and to evaluate the structural performance of the bridge structure under dead and live loads. The field tests that are adopted in this study are the depth of concrete carbonation test, compressive strength of concrete test, corrosion of steel reinforcement test, and static load test. According to inspection of the bridge structure appearance, the overall states of bridge structure in good and there are not serious damages, but there are diagonal and longitudinal cracks in the inside web of box girder within block No.8 and 9. Expansion joints suffer from serious damage such as deformation of expansion joint rubber, dislocating, shedding, and cracking. The field test results show that the concrete of the bridge structure has not carbonation; the strength of concrete in good state; there is not corrosion in steel reinforcement; The values of load test for vertical deflection, strain, and stress are less than the theoretical values and the results of cracks observation show that there is not changing in the length of diagonal cracks in the web of box girder when the load test is applied. This indicates that the working state and carrying capacity of the bridge structure in good state.

Dynamic Load Test

Currently the bridge structure detections are mainly based on static load test and dynamic load test. The static load test has shortcomings of less test data, long time-consumption and high cost. However, the dynamic load test has the advantages of quick and convenient, its related technologies and theories are still not mature enough. To solve this problem, the detection of bridge structure based on quasi-static test is proposed in this paper. Quasi-static load is applied on the structure by moving the standard load vehicle slowly. Then create the structural finite element model and modify the model according to the measured data to make it consistent with the actual structure. The bridge actual structural mechanical properties can be acquired by conducting load test on the optimized structural finite element model. By doing this, the bridge safety could be evaluated quickly.

Ha Shuang Bridge is located in Harbin city within Heilongjiang province in the east north of China. The purposes of this study are to monitor the damage in structural members of Ha Shuang prestressed concrete box girder oblique bridge before strengthening and to evaluate the dynamic performance of the bridge structure by adopting dynamic load test. Monitoring process of damage of the bridge structure shows that the web of box girder in the quarter of the second span (about 10.5m from the pier) suffers from serious shear cracks. These cracks extend from the top to lower flange of box girder. The width of cracks rang from 0.5mm to 2mm and the angle is 45 degree. There are 6 bending cracks. The spacing between these cracks rang from 20cm to 30cm and the width is 035mm. In the span No. 3 near the pier, the web of box girder appears 12 diagonal cracks have width rang from 0.1mm to 0.12 mm. The results of dynamic load test analysis show that the values of measured vertical natural frequency is w1 = 3.616Hz and horizontal natural frequency w2 = 4.492Hz less than the values of theoretical natural frequency which is 3.863Hz and 4.848Hz, indicating that the actual stiffness of the bridge structure is less than the theoretical stiffness. Therefore the dynamic working state of bridge structure is not good. Therefore the working state of bridge is not good and it need to repair and strengthening.

Prestressed Concrete Bridge

Fu Feng highway prestressed concrete bridge is located in Changchun City which is the capital and largest city of Jilin province and it located in the northeast of China. The strengthening of the bridge structural members can be attempted by replacing poor quality or defective materials by better quality materials, attaching additional load-bearing materials, and re-distribution of the loading actions through imposed deformation on the structure system. The objectives of this study are to explain the strengthening process of damaged structural members of Fu Feng bridge, and to evaluate the performance of the bridge structure by adopting static load test. The strengthening process of damaged structural members includes three stages. These stages include the strengthening of box girders floor by casting of 10cm of reinforced concrete in the floor of box girder within the location of positive bending moment in the mid-span and edge span, the strengthening of box girders web by pasting steel plates in the inside of the right and left of box girders, and the strengthening of the transverse beam of piers No. 18 and No. 19 by using carbon fiber sheet. The results of static load test show that the values of testing coefficient ( ) of stress range from 0.83 to 0.92 are less than allowable value 1.05. Therefore, these values satisfy the allowable value of standard, indicating that the structural member has a certain strength reserve and the working state of the bridge structure in good state. the ratio between the measured and theoretical deflection is 1.41 and 1.68 for condition 3 more than allowable value 0.8, indicating that the state of stiffness is not good and there are still a serious shortage in stiffness of structure. Therefore, this study recommended that the bridge structural members need to re-strengthen by using other effective technical and materials to increase the stiffness of structural members of the bridge.

Dynamic Load Test

The most common structural load test that has been widely used is the static load test. An alternative to the structural load test is dynamic load test. Dynamic testing is a test carried out to determine level of structural stiffness or structural elements stiffness in the form of natural frequencies, while the static load test is intended to obtain responses of static loading from the structure in the form of deflection. The discussion will emphasize the correlation between static load test and dynamic load test. To correlate the static load test with the vibration test, a reference or value that comes from modeling or theoretical analysis is needed. Structural modeling is carried out to obtain the theoretical natural frequency and the theoretical deflection which will then be compared with the natural frequency of the vibration test (dynamic). If the frequency of the test results and the theoretical frequency are compared to the theoretical deflection, the prediction of the test deflection will be obtained. The correlation between the predicted deflection of the test and deflection of the static load test is quite close with a difference of less than 12%. Judging from the above correlation, periodic inspections of the tested structures can be considered for vibration testing only. The types of structures reviewed are simple span steel bridge structure, simple span + link slab steel bridge structure and continuous span steel bridge structure. Keywords: modeling; natural frequencies; vibration testing; static load test  AbstrakUji beban struktur yang umum dan sudah banyak dilakukan adalah uji beban statik. Alternatif lain dari uji beban adalah dengan melakukan pengujian vibrasi (dinamik) pada struktur. Pengujian vibrasi (dinamik) dilakukan untuk mengetahui tingkat kekakuan struktur atau elemen struktur berupa frekuensi alami, sedangkan uji beban statik dimaksudkan untuk mendapatkan respons hasil pembebanan statik dari struktur berupa lendutan. Pembahasan akan menekankan kepada korelasi antara uji beban statik dan uji beban vibrasi (dinamik). Untuk mengkorelasikan pengujian beban statik terhadap pengujian vibrasi (dinamik) diperlukan suatu acuan atau nilai yang berasal dari analisa pemodelan atau teoritis. Pemodelan struktur dilakukan untuk mendapatkan frekuensi alami secara teoritis dan lendutan teoritis yang kemudian akan dibandingkan dengan frekuensi alami hasil uji vibrasi (dinamik).  Jika frekuensi hasil uji dan frekuensi teoritis dibandingkan terhadap lendutan teoritis maka akan didapatkan prediksi lendutan uji. Hasil korelasi antara prediksi lendutan uji terhadap lendutan uji beban statik cukup mendekati dengan perbedaan kurang dari 12%. Dilihat dari korelasi diatas, maka untuk pemeriksaan berkala pada struktur yang telah diuji dapat dipertimbangkan untuk dilakukan pengujian vibrasi saja. Jenis struktur yang ditinjau adalah struktur jembatan baja simple span, simple span + link slab dan continuous span.
