Statical testing of the Dubrovnik Bridge

This paper presents the methods and results of testing the Dubrovnik Bridge. The example of such a large and important structure shows how much attention should be approached to structure testing with test load. The equivalent test loads are obtained using influence lines of the internal forces and displacements. Testing program was created in colaboration with the structure designer. The testing results obtained using the most sophisticated equipment for structure testing confirm the hypotheses stated in the statically analysis. On the other hand, those testing results have a great significance for future diagnostics of structures in exploitation.
