This paper summarizes new application of CFS in bridge constructions where a seven meters long pedestrian bridge was constructed. The bridge has 1.2m width, 0.8m depth, and is composed of CFS Warren truss and bondek floor systems. Natural frequency of the bridge considering only dead load application was found as 8.54 Hz and decreased to 7.08 Hz when the live load was included. Under static load test, the application of dead load only and both dead and live loads yielded a maximum deflection of 3.53 and 8.1 mm, respectively. Normal walking and running pedestrian loads were carried out created a maximum acceleration equaled to 0.11g. Lastly, sinusoidal waves application facilitated through a three-phase induction motor having self-weight of 24.86 kgf at frequency equal to 8.5 Hz was performed for one hour resulting no decrease of the natural frequency, thus the bridge can be assumed to experience no noticeable stiffness degradation.

This study focuses on test loading program and evaluation for pedestrian bridge. On the basis of the finite element analysis, numerical model of Lv River Bridge, which is a steel box pedestrian suspension bridge, is established. Moreover, field static load test is done and the results of tests are compared to the theoretical values. Results show that the measured result fits well with the theoretical result and bridge is in the situation of elastic deformation, and the strength and stiffness satisfy the need of design.

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.

Vertical static load test is widely used in the determination of pile bearing capacity, the mathematical model used to fit test pile data in determining the bearing capacity is essential. From the perspective of analytic geometry, the paper analyzes the traditional method of hyperbola, of which the asymptotic line of equilateral hyperbola was used to determine the ultimate bearing capacity. By extending the equal-axed conditions, a more general form of hyperbolic equation is derived and feasibility of such method is also analyzed, which indicates that the maximum point of curvature in such hyperbolic curve can determine the ultimate bearing capacity and such method is proved to be reasonable in practical projects.

In order to study the basic mechanical property of cast-in-place stiffening-ribbed-hollow-pipe reinforced concrete girderless floor, and similarities and differences of the structural performance compared with traditional floor, we carried out the destructive stage loading test on the short-term load test of floor model with four clamped edges supported in large scale, and conducted the long-term static load test. Also, the thesis conducted finite element analysis in virtue of ANSYS software for solid slab floor, stiffening-ribbed-hollow-pipe floor and tubular floor. The experiment indicates that the developing process of cracks, distribution and failure mode in stiffening-ribbed-hollow-pipe floor are similar to that of solid girderless floor, and that this kind of floor has higher bearing capacity and better plastic deformation capacity. The finite element analysis manifests that, compared with solid slab floor, the deadweight of stiffening-ribbed-hollow-pipe floor decreases on greater level while deformation increases little, and that compared with tubular floor, this floor has higher rigidity. So stiffening-ribbed-hollow-pipe reinforced concrete girderless floor is particularly suitable for long-span and large-bay building structure.
