Abstract:
In this paper the results of load testing of several new road bridges constructed in Bosnia and
Herzegovina are presented. Load testing of new road bridges with spans larger than 15m, prior to
setting them into operation, is obligatory according to regulations in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Load testing, according to regulations, consists of static and dynamic tests, and is performed
according to instructions given in the regulations.
The test results then have to be compared with the results obtained by the theoretical design
model, which is also given in this paper.
