“…Field tests on other bridge types have also been used to evaluate the performance of new concepts [71][72][73], as well as the performance of retrofitting actions [74][75][76][77]. Since arch bridges (masonry arch bridges or plain concrete arches) have a large redistribution capacity, load testing can be recommended, as analytical assessment virtually never shows sufficient capacity [78].…”

Load testing of bridges is a practice that is as old as their construction. In the past, load testing gave the traveling public a feeling that a newly opened bridge is safe. Nowadays, the bridge stock in many countries is aging, and load testing is used for the assessment of existing bridges. This paper aims at giving an overview of the current state-of-the-art with regard to load testing of concrete bridges. The work is based on an extensive literature review, dealing with diagnostic and proof load testing, and looking at the current areas of research. Additional available information about load testing of steel, timber, and masonry bridges, buildings, and collapse testing is briefly cited. For the implementation of load testing to the aging bridge stock on a large scale, efficiency in procedures is required. The areas requiring future research are identified, based on the available body of knowledge.
