    Static Load Test

    This document summarizes a static load test of a 19m pre-cast concrete bridge beam. The beam was tested up to a maximum load of 8.4 metric tons by applying the load in the center using a hydraulic jack in 1 ton increments. Settlement was measured at each support and at the center using dial gauges. The net displacement at the center relative to the end displacements was calculated at each load and unload. The actual displacements were compared to the theoretical displacements calculated as L/250, where L is the beam length. No cracks were observed during loading.
