Proofloading
Case Ruytenschildtbrug
• Proofloading to assess capacity of existing bridge• ASR affected bridges
• Unaffected bridges
• Study cracks and deformations for applied loads
• Crack formation: acoustic emissions measurements• Control load process
• Ruytenschildtbrug: testing to failure
6
Quick Scan approach
• Quick Scan shear behavior in slabs• Similar to hand calculation
• In spreadsheet
• Developed since +- 2005
• Conservative approach
• First Level of Approximation
• Only relevant cross-sections of each span
• Includes results from slab shear tests TU
Delft
• Result = unity check = vEd/vRd,c
7
Recommendations
Effective width
• Experiments on slabs with variable widths• Statistical analysis ofVexp/VEC with beff1 and beff2
• NLFEA: stress distribution at support• Lower bound: 4dl
8
Recommendations
Slab factor 1.25
• Comparison test results and EN 1992-1-1:2005• Normal distribution• Characteristic increase at least 1.25
• Combination of β = av /2dl and slab factor 1.25
βnew = av /2.5dl
for 0.5dl ≤ av ≤ 2.5dl
9
Recommendations
Superposition of loads
• Experiments on slabs with line load and concentrated load• Superposition is a conservative assumption
• Concentrated load over effective width• Line load over entire width
10
Recommendations
Lower bound vmin
• Built before 1962: QR24 steel reinforcement• fyk = 240 MPa
• Eurocode 2 vmin based on fyk = 500 MPa

Cross-sections –Ruytenschildt Bridge
• Cross-sections to check for 5-span beam• Check sup 1-2, sup 2-1 and sup 2-3
• Testing in span 1 and span 2• close to end support
• close to mid support
13
Quick Scan development
QS-Excel-RWS• more cross-sections• Reinforcement more detailed

Quick Scan Ruytenschildt Bridge
• Predictions: not all material parameters known beforehand• Assume QR24 steel
• Some test results of concrete cores: compression and splitting
• Based on characteristic values• Follows rating procedures
• Skew 72º angle• Skew factors as used in QS
• Concrete compressive strength not known beforehand• Calculations over range of compressive strengths

Introduction
• Average material • Two loading possibilities:
• Battens + big bags
• 4 wheel loads: simulating 1 load tandem
• Skew factors as in Quick Scan• Saw cut at 7.365m over full length of bridge• Average vRd,c
• Averagevmin : transform formula to average instead of characteristic

Postdiction results
Moment capacity
• Using measured material properties
• Span 1:
• Measured moment: 4889 kNm
• Calculated ultimate moment: 4388 kNm
• Difference: integral bridge:
• clamping moment at end support can
occur
• Further research on moment capacity of
beams sawn out of bridge
32
Postdiction results
Moment capacity
• Span 2:
• Msup = 3306 kNm => between cracking and yielding
• Mspan = 4188 kNm => between yielding and ultimate
• Similar to observations in test
• Postdictions: failure in bending before failure in shear
33
Analysis for bending moment
Finite element model
• Linear finite element model in Scia Engineer
• Concrete class C20/25 as based on tested cores
• Modeled as continuous slab, 5 spans
• Used for comparison between proofloading and Eurocode loads
34
Analysis for bending moment
Largest moment with LM1
• Load Model 1 from Eurocode
• Self-weight + layer of asphalt
• Distributed lane load + concentrated
wheel loads
• Position of wheel loads resulting in
largest moment
• manual live load analysis
• Span 1: x = 4,633m => mux+ = 438,5
kNm/m
• Span 2: x = 14,5m => mux+ = 330,4
kNm/m
35
Analysis for bending moment
Proofloading – Load levels
• Traditional proofloading:
• finish test before failure or damage to bridge
• load must pass “unfit for use” and “repair” levels
• identify these levels
• Requirement: same moment for EC load as for test tandem
• at “unfit for use” and “repair” load levels
• “Repair” level
• Span 1: axle load 620 kN, total load 1240 kN
• Span 2: axle load 544 kN, total load 1088 kN
• “Unfit for use” level
• Span 1: axle load 589 kN, total load 1178 kN
• Span 2: axle load 520 kN, total load 1040 kN
36
Analysis for bending moment
Ultimate capacity
• From a plate analysis (FEM)
• Maximum measured loads in experiment
• Tandem loads at critical distance for shear 2,5d• Results:
• Span 1: x = 3,391m => mux+ = 819,6 kNm/m
• Span 2: x = 12,455m => mux+ = 814,3 kNm/m
37
Analysis for bending moment
Plasticity
• After yielding of reinforcement: formation of plastic hinge
• Analysis based on cracking pattern
• Analysis for span 2 (span 1: no failure)
38
Analysis for bending moment
Plasticity
• Consider the distribution of mx in slab subjected to loading as
applied in test
39
Analysis for bending moment
Plasticity
• Make a cut, find distribution of moments over width at position of
crack
40
Analysis for bending moment
Plasticity
• Percentage of moment distributed over 3,63m (length of crack)?
• 77,4% of total moment in crack = plastic moment
• 22,6% remains linear elastic
• In linear elastic part: capacity can increase until reaching onset of
yielding and cracking
• Total moment due to maximum load: 2271 kNm
41
Analysis for bending moment
Plasticity
• Linear elastic part carries moment after yielding and cracking:
• Can increase up to yield moment
