🔹 Static Load Testing of Bridges This test involves placing calibrated weights (usually trucks or cars of known mass) on the bridge in predefined positions to simulate actual traffic loads. The purpose is to: • Assess deflections, strain, and stresses in key structural components. • Verify the load-carrying capacity of the bridge. • Compare measured behavior with analytical predictions or design assumptions. • Check for any signs of distress, residual deformation, or permanent damage. | KSSE St
