Static Loading Test and Evaluation of Single Beam of Highway Prestressed Concrete Hollow Slab Beam Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

Since the main beams of a prestressed concrete hollow slab beam Highway Bridge stored for too long, in order to assess its bearing capacity, static loading test and bearing capacity evaluation of single beam was conducted. The hollow slab beam at the locations where the transverse distribution coefficient is biggest was chose for testing, and the transverse distribution coefficient at midspans of the slab beam was calculated by the hinged slab method. By comparing the theoretical and measured values of displacement and stain at key points of the beam, structural performance of the beam was finally evaluated. The test results showed that both the strength and stiffness of the beam was conforming to the requirements of the specification and able to satisfy normal use requirements in serviceability limit state.
