MITICA Experimental Testing - Loading test
This report is part of the 2-year exploratory research project MITICA (MonItoring Transport Infrastructures with Connected and Automated vehicle). It presents the experimental loading testing undertaken on the Reinforced Concrete (RC) platform that represents the full-scale bridge-like structural specimen of the MITICA project. The test involves the quasi-static loading of the RC platform via application of roughly 1000 kg using a water tank at the structural mid-span. The considered load is equivalent to the weight of the moving vehicle employed in the drive-by MITICA experimental campaign. This experimental test aims to assess the structural behaviour (linear/non-linear, elastic/inelastic) under two actions:(i) the additional compressive force at the mid-span; and (ii) the thermal loading effect.
