Bridge Load Testing
Static & dynamic load test per IRC SP:51
To verify the structural performance and load-carrying capacity of newly constructed and existing bridges through static and dynamic loading — mandatory before commissioning per IRC SP:51-2015.
What We Do
- •Static load test with calibrated weights
- •Dynamic load test with moving vehicles
- •Deflection measurement (LVDT, dial gauge)
- •Strain monitoring (strain gauges, DAQ)
- •Crack monitoring during loading
- •Frequency & modal analysis
- •Recovery test after load removal
- •Comparison with design values
Methodology
Pre-test inspection → instrumentation setup (LVDTs, strain gauges) → staged loading per IRC SP:51 (70%, 100% design load) → deflection & strain recording → 24-hour sustained load → unloading & recovery measurement → analysis vs design → load test certificate.
Deliverables & Outcomes
We deliver comprehensive reports and data that guide your project planning and decision-making.
- •Bridge Load Test Report (IRC format)
- •Deflection vs load curves
- •Strain measurement data
- •Recovery analysis
- •Compliance certificate (Fit/Unfit)
- •Recommendations (if any)
