In-Depth Information
A very slender and aesthetic aspect was obtained for these overpasses and the solution
allowed considerable material savings. Practically, for both bridges a very good steel con-
sumption of 130 kg/m

was obtained.

3. Technical details of the load test project
A load test was carried out for one of the twin structures - the overpass at km 8+775. The
test program was conceived according to the Romanian standard [5]. The test purpose was
to obtain information about the structure behaviour subjected to present load situations, to
assess the viability of the initial design project.
According to the Romanian standard, the analysis of the following issues must be taken
into account within a testing program:
