Abstract:The bridge load test is currently considered as the most direct method to detect the bearing capacity of bridges. However, during the detection process of the bridge load test, the traffic requires to be closed for a long time, which has a certain impact on the traffic of vehicles and pedestrians. And more weight is required, which will bring more heavy field work to the test. and a large amount of counterweight is required, bringing a relatively heavy fieldwork workload to the test. Moreover, the bridge load test method has no theoretical basis for evaluating the residual bearing capacity of the bridge. The research method is to collect the parameter response of the corresponding section through a single heavy vehicle driving slowly on the bridge deck. Combined with the calculation of the finite element model, the loading efficiency coefficient under the action of a single heavy vehicle and the theoretical parameter value under the design load are calculated. The actual effect parameter value of the bridge under the design load is deduced to decide the design rationality of the bridge and the reliability of the construction quality. According to the requirements of the current design specifications, the load value that needs to be loaded is calculated if it reaches the limit of the design specification. This value can be used as the deduced residual bearing capacity value of the bridge.
