Investigation of a Double-Arched Bridges Mechanical Behavior by the Static Load Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

An on-site static load test of a reinforced concrete double-arch bridge with fracture is carried out, and a comparative analysis of the measured experimental results of the bridge working conditions and the calculation results of Midas/civil Finite Element Model is performed. The results show that the performance and structural deformation recoverability of the bridge is weak. The bridges overall load-bearing capacity does not satisfy its designed requirements.
