Abstract

Highway bridges are a crucial component in road transportation networks. These bridges must be maintained according to usage requirements regularly. Test results must be considered before devising a maintenance plan. Load testing is a vital method of assessing the quality and performance of highway bridges. The outcomes of these tests facilitate the formulation of maintenance plans. This article examines the definition of load testing, its significance, and the process of execution, with the goal of providing support for bridge inspection and maintenance.
