Reliability index after proof load
testing: viaduct De Beek
Eva Lantsoght, Cor van der Veen, Dick Hordijk, Ane de Boer
2Reliability index after proof load testing: viaduct De Beek
Overview
• Introduction: load testing
• Reliability index after load
testing
• Viaduct De Beek
• Application of method to De
Beek
• Recommendations
• Summary and conclusions Testing of Ruytenschildt Bridge
3Reliability index after proof load testing: viaduct De Beek
Why load testing? (1)
Bridges from 60s and 70s
The Hague in 1959
Increased live loads
common heavy and long truck (600 kN)
End of service life + larger loads
4Reliability index after proof load testing: viaduct De Beek
Proof load testing of bridges
• Apply predetermined load to
bridge
• Information lacking
• Damage due to ASR, …
• Proof load testing
• Immediate approval of bridge
• Recalculate updated β

6Reliability index after proof load testing: viaduct De Beek
Case study: viaduct De Beek
• RC slab bridge of 4 spans
• Insufficient flexural capacity
• Reduction of 2 lanes to 1
lane
• Proof load test at shear- and
flexure-critical position in
first span
7Reliability index after proof load testing: viaduct De Beek
Effect on reliability index
• g = R – S limit state function
• Before load test: β = 2.10
• After load test: β = 2.66
• Smaller than requirements:
RBK Usage β = 3.30
• But: choice of distribution
functions for existing bridges?

9Reliability index after proof load testing: viaduct De Beek
Sensitivity analysis (2)
• First analysis: based on
recommendations of JCSS
Not necessarily suitable for
existing bridges!
• Change values of COV: large
impact on β
• Recommended values for
existing bridges?
Recommendations of JCSS Model Code
10Reliability index after proof load testing: viaduct De Beek
Comparison to Unity Check
• For which values of COV are the results of probabilistic
method and Unity Check similar?
• See table: COV of R and S of 7%
• Further research needed for recommendations

11Reliability index after proof load testing: viaduct De Beek
Summary and conclusions
• Proof load testing to approve existing
bridges
• Updating β after load testing
• Application of concepts to De Beek
• Using JCSS MC recommended
values: lower β than expected
• Value of COV to use?
• Sensitivity analysis: large effect of
COV
• First recommendation 7% COV on R
and S
