Full Load Test for the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Causeway Bridge (PSC Girder: 35 M)
The Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Causeway consists of an asymmetric cable-stayed bridge (340 m) and a prestressed concrete (PSC) box girder bridge (35.80 km) linking Kuwait City and Northern Kuwait. The full load tests were performed on the PSC box girder bridge and the load scale was set to 14,092 kNm which was 98.47% of the maximum design moment (14,310 kNm). A total of 12 individual 40 tonf dump trucks were exerted on the bridge for the tests. Based on the influence line of the target bridge, displacement sensors, and strain gauges were installed at the points where the maximum bending mo... Mehr ...
