(Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment) Date 2017 Abstract For existing bridges, proof-load testing can be a suitable assessment method. This paper addresses the evaluation of a posted reinforced concrete slab bridge over a highway through proof-load testing, detailing the preparation, execution, and analysis of the test. As the target proof-load and the required measurements for proof-load testing currently are not well-defined in the existing codes, this pilot case was used to develop and evaluate proposed recommendations for proof-load testing for a future guideline on proof-load testing for the Netherlands. Moreover, the pilot proof-load test is used to study the feasibility of proof-load testing for both shear and flexure To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:bf86b220-53a2-4a17-bdc5-d9d658a35e7a DOI https://doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)BE.1943-5592.0001131 ISSN 1084-0702 Source Journal of Bridge Engineering, 22 (12) Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type journal article Rights © 2017 E.O.L.
