Using data obtained from the dynamic load testing of bridges a method was developed to evaluate level of the dynamic performance without performing a dynamic load test. In this method a dynamic index of the bridge is calculated. Dynamic index allows to evaluate the dynamic performance level of existing and new structures taking into account such bridge parameters as span length / height ratio, natural frequency, vibration damping coefficient, relative deflection and international roughness index IRI. Dynamic index method can be used by bridge owners and maintainers to determine the dynamic potential of a particular bridge. The maximum allowable values of the dynamic amplification factor for standard prestressed concrete beam bridges were determined. These values were calculated for maximum allowed traffic load in Latvia. The obtained results can be used for the safety assessment of existing and reconstructed reinforced concrete beam bridges.

The dynamic performance of the 12m span prestressed concrete beam is analyzed by finite element method. Based on the finite element analysis, with the change of the peak dynamic load, the risetime of dynamic load and the reinforcement ratio of prestressed reinforcement, the change laws of mid-span maximum deflection and the maximum stress of prestressed reinforcement in prestressed concrete beam are studied. At the same time, have further understanding to the stress and deformation of the prestressed concrete beam under explosive load. It can provide references for study on dynamic performance of the prestressed concrete beam under explosive load.

A study of the properties of dispersed-reinforced concrete and a study of the effect of dispersed reinforcement on the operation of structures was carried out, mainly with a static load of the same sign. Based on the results of experimental studies, a comparison was made of the work of dispersed-laminated structures under alternating dynamic action of high intensity with the work of reinforced concrete beam elements under similar influences. The results of experimental studies of cubes and prisms for static and dynamic compression are also presented. The results of experimental studies allow us to conclude that there is a significant effect of dispersed reinforcement on the operation of structures under the investigated influences and the feasibility of combined reinforcement of structures. The use of dispersed reinforcement in structures will increase the resistance of structures to such influences.

Bamboo can use at the simple concrete construction because of the tensile strength of its mechanical property. Meanwhile, a slippery surface of the bamboo caused cracks in the bamboo reinforced concrete beam (BRC) not to spread and yield slip failure between a bamboo bar and concrete. Load test at the BRC beam yield humble load capacity. This study aims to improve the capacity and behavior of BRC beam bending by giving waterproof coating, sand, and hose clamp installation. The beam test specimen with the size of 75x150x1100mm made as many as 26 pieces with the variety of reinforcement. The hose clamp used on the bamboo reinforcement varies with a distance of 0 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm, and 25 cm. The testing using a simple beam with two-point loading. The test results show that BRC beams have different bending behavior compared to the steel reinforced concrete beam (SRC).

Monorail transportation systems are widely built in medium and small cities, as well as hilly cities, because of their excellent performance. A prestressed concrete track beam is a key load-carrying structural component and guideway subjected to repeated traffic load. The fatigue behavior of the prestressed concrete beam is critical for the safety of the transportation system. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the fatigue behavior of a prestressed concrete beam in terms of stiffness degradation and strain change. The displacement and rotation of the beam of concrete and reinforcement were examined, respectively. A three-dimensional finite element model was established to help understand the development of the mechanical behavior. No crack was observed throughout the test. Both concrete and bars behaved in their linear-elastic stage throughout the test, and the bond between them performed well.

This paper presents the electronic computer programmes used for the design of standard bridge superstructures by the SETRA (Service d'Etudes techniques des Routes et Autoroutes) of the French Department of Public Works. There is one particular programme for each bridge type. Through these programmes, concrete widths and depths and steel reinforcement are calculated for reinforced concrete beam and slab bridges, and prestressing is designed for prestressed concrete beam and slab bridges.Since February 1, 1962, 11 000 bridges have been designed with these varied and general programmes, suitable for most standard road and freeway overpasses.

Reinforced concrete beam with limited horizontal displacement on yielding supports under dynamic loading require considering the thrust response. The thrust presence significantly increases the beam strength and crack resistance. The use of yielding supports increases their energy intensity. The purpose of the paper is the experimental study of using yielding supports under the dynamic load conditions. The experimental results concern the reinforced concrete beam with yielding supports with a thrust under the dynamic load. The paper shows the effect from yielding supports on the strength, deformability, and crack resistance of reinforced concrete beams. The obtained results indicate to a positive effect form the use of yielding supports of the beam under the dynamic load.

A displacement-measuring technique using digital image cross-correlation was applied to study the in situ behavior of a shear crack in a reinforced concrete beam during a bridge static load test. A numerical approach allowed measurement of the displacement field at the location of the crack on a 110 mm × 130 mm surface with a resolution of the order of 10 µm. Results of the analysis indicate that crack loading varies significantly with load position and sequence of applications to the structure. These results further indicate that damage cannot be attributed to the repetition of a single load cycle, as is often the case. The findings should improve the understanding of the fatigue behavior of reinforced concrete structures under operating conditions.Key words: displacement field, crack opening displacement, digital image correlation, static loading test, fatigue, durability, reinforced concrete, monitoring.

A diagnostic survey on the precast prestressed bridge Nižná confirmed significant deterioration due to environmental distress. Evidently, decisive failures of the structure have a similar character as in the previous precast prestressed bridge in Podbiel in the northern part of Slovakia. These failures result from the unsuitable concept of the first generation of precast prestressed concrete beams, which was used in the former Czechoslovakia in the second half of the 20th century. Subsequently, experimental verification using the proof-load test was also executed. This bridge was built in 1956, so at the time of testing, it was 60 years old. The paper presents the indirect determination of prestressing level in one precast post-tensioned concrete beam using the saw-cut method. Experimental measurement was executed during the bridge demolition. Subsequently, a 2D numerical model in ATENA 2D Software, with the assumption of nonlinear material behavior for verification of experimental results, was performed. Finally, the residual prestressing force was evaluated and compared with the expected state of prestressing according to Eurocodes after 60 years of service.

The author carried out dynamic load test research on a prestressed concrete rigid frame bridge. Under dynamic load, the ratios of the measured and theoretical frequencies of the first four vertical vibrations of the bridge were 1.081, 1.153 respectively. The corresponding measured damping ratios are 0.011, 0.010 respectively. The maximum dynamic coefficient of bridge sports car test is 1.049, and the corresponding dynamic strain increment coefficient is 0.059. The measured impact coefficient is between 0.012 and 0.049, which is basically equivalent to the design impact coefficient of 0.05.The test results show that the existing bridge works well under the test load, and the bearing capacity of the structure meets the requirements of the design load level.
