Determination of loading protocol and stop
criteria for proof loading with beam tests
Eva Lantsoght, Yuguang Yang, Cor van der Veen, Ane de Boer, Dick Hordijk
2Determination of loading protocol and stop criteria for proof loading with beam tests
Overview
• Introduction• Why proof loading?
• Stop criteria?
• Overview of existing guidelines• Lab experiments• Results• Recommendations• Summary and conclusions
Slab shear experiments, TU Delft
3Determination of loading protocol and stop criteria for proof loading with beam tests
Why load testing? (1)
Bridges from 60s and 70s
The Hague in 1959
Increased live loads
common heavy and long truck (600 kN)
End of service life + larger loads
4Determination of loading protocol and stop criteria for proof loading with beam tests
Elements for load testing
• Target load• Loading protocol• Stop criteria:
• Further loading not permitted
• Failure near
• Irreversible damage near
MSc Thesis W. Vos
5Determination of loading protocol and stop criteria for proof loading with beam tests
Existing Guidelines for proof loading
• DAfStB Stop criteria for flexure• Concrete strain
• Steel strain
• Crack width and residual crack
width
• Residual deflection
• ACI 437.2M-13 Acceptancecriteria for flexure:• Residual deflection
• Permanency ratio
• Deviation from Linearity Index
• No stop criteria for shear
6Determination of loading protocol and stop criteria for proof loading with beam tests
Research need
•Stop criteria for flexure and shear
•Loading protocol for field testing
7Determination of loading protocol and stop criteria for proof loading with beam tests
Experiments (1)
• Beams P804 and P502 cast in lab: plain bars• Cyclic loading protocol
• Number of cycles
• Loading speed
• Tests: Failure in shear and flexure
• Measurements:
• Lasers: deflection of beam
• LVDTs: crack opening + horizontal deformation
• Acoustic emission sensors in shear span

10Determination of loading protocol and stop criteria for proof loading with beam tests
Recommendations (1)
• Cyclic loading protocol• Constant loading speed• Four load levels• After SLS: use small steps to go to interim and target level

Summary and conclusions
• Proof loading to approve existingbridges
• Existing guidelines: • Only flexure
• Precracked structures?
• Laboratory testing• Loading protocol
• Cyclic, constant loading speed
• Proposal with 4 levels
• Stop criteria• Based on ACI and DAfStB
• Effect of cracking
• Difference between flexure and shear
