Fast Falling Weight Deflectometer Method for Condition Assessment of RC Bridges

Fast Falling Weight Deflectometer Method for Condition Assessment of RC Bridges

In this paper, the use of Fast Falling Weight Deflectometer (Fast-FWD) is analyzed as a non-destructive and quick test procedure to evaluate the efficiency of short-span bridges. The Fast-FWD is an instrument that can produce a broadband dynamic force up to an impact value of 120 KN: The impact is c...
