Lateral-load tests of reinforced concrete bridge
MO Eberhard, ML Marsh, T O'Donovan… - Transportation Research …, 1992 - trid.trb.org
Static and dynamic tests were performed on a three-span reinforced concrete highway
bridge in eastern Washington. The objective of these tests was to improve the ability of
bridge engineers to assess the vulnerability of similar bridges to earthquakes. During a first
series of tests, a University of Washington team measured the stiffness and strength of the
bridge in its unaltered state. Large, slowly varying, cyclic loads were applied in the
transverse direction of the bridge with hydraulic rams; small-displacement dynamic …
