Reliability-Based Proof Load Factors for Assessment of Bridges

Reliability-Based Proof Load Factors for Assessment of Bridges

Advanced reliability assessment can be required when evaluating existing bridge structures through proof load testing. The target load of a proof load test typically requires input from resistance models; however, bridges with a low documentation level are often the most relevant for proof load test...
