LOAD TESTS ON THE NEW RAILWAY BRIDGES AT TUNYOGMATOLCS AND BÁNRÉVE

Abstract

In this paper, the results of load tests performed on two railway bridges opened to traffic recently are demonstrated. In the course of static measurement, the deflection of the bridge and the stresses in selected points were measured. Dynamic measurements comprised natural frequencies, dynamic factor and dynamic excess. The measurement results obtained were compared with the calculated deflections and stresses. Comparison of model test results for the Simontornya bridge in the design stage and measurement results for the structurally similar Banreve bridge is of special interest.
