Experimental and analytical assessment of 60 m steel truss bridge

Abstract

The experimental test was conducted on a new 60 m Steel Truss Bridge at Lumajang East Java. The Purpose of the test to observe the actual condition of the bridge before use for regular traffic. The static and dynamic loading test were applied. For static loading 63% of live load was applied. Several test instruments were installed to record all data during testing. Seven stages of loading were performed during static loading test. The structural analysis also performed as comparison with the experimental result. The experimental test and analytical study showed that the Steel Truss Bridge provides good performance refers to current Indonesian code.
