- Simulates
the crossing loads on a bridge system in a controlled testing environment
- Uses a
system of hydraulic actuators and loading fixtures to simulate the rolling
load applied by a moving vehicle, instead of using actual vehicles to
cross the bridge thousands of times
- Will accommodate
bridges up to 42 meters long and is easily adaptable to accommodate
unanticipated bridge designs of the future
- This system
is a tool for conducting durability tests at a huge cost savings; thus
enabling the collection of more engineering and statistical data than
previously possible on the factors that impact bridge life the most
- Supplements
the full spectrum of required bridge testing by providing an economic
means of establishing and evaluating the durability of portable bridges
