Research on Static Loading Test of Jinghong Baita Bridge

Based on the method,items and actual loading arrangement of the static loading test of the Jinghong Baita bridge the authors studied the method of static loading test on a catenary spandrel braced hingeless reinforced concrete boxed arch bridge,discussed the methods of both measuring and calculating of such testing items as deflection,strain and structural crack resistance of the sections under control in the test and then gave an assessment of the tested bridge by making a comparison between the measured values and the theoretical values.The study results show that the measured values coincide with the theoretical ones and the carrying capacity of the bridge will satisfy the design requirement.
