Structure Bearing Capacity Testing and Evaluation of Existing Bridges

Abstract

The bearing capacity testing and evaluation of the existing bridge engineering structure is not only the key to clarify its structural quality and safety performance, but it also can lay a solid foundation for subsequent repairs and maintenance work. To ensure the bearing capacity, durability and reliability of existing bridges, this paper analyzes the importance and methods of testing and evaluation of structural bearing capacity of a bridge. This analysis aims to provide scientific reference for the quality assessment and subsequent repair and maintenance of existing bridge engineering structures.
