Abstract:Due to many uncertainties in the construction stage, there is an error between the initial state and the design state of the finished bridges. It is of great significance to accurately grasp the initial state of the finished bridge for the subsequent operation and maintenance. The dynamic and static load test of bridge is one of the important methods to test the bridge performances. Taking a single-pylon cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 220 m as an example, combined with the method of dynamic and static load tests, the natural vibration characteristics of the bridge, the dynamic and static deflection, strain and other parameters under the specific loads are measured and compared with the theoretical values of the finite element model. The results show that the structural stiffness and dynamic characteristics of the bridge meet the design requirements with the good initial state of finished bridge.
