Evaluation and Study on the Bearing Capacity of Deck Type Concrete Arch Bridge

Abstract

As more and more arch bridges built with the construction method of cantilever erection, the strength and entirety of the bridge shall worry the designers. This paper studies an arch bridge with a 65-meter span, gives the static loading test plan and the dynamic test plan, analyzes the testing data of the displacement and strain, explains the methods of static and dynamic load test in detail, and gives a conclusion about the bearing capacity and dynamic properties of bridge. This can be referred by the similar bridge.
