Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Schmidt, J.W. (author)This chapter discusses the aspects related to the preparation of load tests, regardless of the chosen type of load test. After determination of the test objectives, the first step should be a technical inspection of the bridge and bridge site. With this information, the preparatory calculations (assessment for existing bridges and expected...book chapter 2019

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author), Koekkoek, R.T. (author), van der Veen, C. (author)This chapter describes the proof load testing of viaduct Zijlweg at a position that is critical for bending moment and at a position that is critical for shear. The viaduct Zijlweg has cracking caused by alkali-silica reaction, and the effect of material degradation on the capacity is uncertain. Therefore, the assessment of this viaduct was...book chapter 2019

Frangopol, Dan M. (author), Yang, David Y. (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Steenbergen, Raphaël D.J.M. (author)This chapter reviews concepts related to the uncertainties associated with structures and how the results of load tests can be used to reduce these uncertainties. When an existing bridge is subjected to a load test, it is known that the capacity of the cross section is at least equal to the largest load effect that was successfully resisted. As...book chapter 2019

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Schmidt, J.W. (author)This chapter discusses aspects that should be considered prior to every load test. The first questions that needs to be answered are “Is this bridge suitable for load testing?” and “If so, what are the goals of the load test?” To answer these questions, information must be gathered and preliminary calculations should be carried out. In order to...book chapter 2019

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Schmidt, J.W. (author)This chapter discusses the aspects related to processing the results of a load test after the test. The way in which the data are processed depends on the goals of the test. As such, the report that summarizes the preparation, execution, and post-processing of the load test should clearly state the goal of the load test, how the test addressed...book chapter 2019

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Schmidt, J.W. (author)This chapter discusses the aspects related to the execution of load tests regardless of the chosen type of load test. The main elements required for the execution of the load test are the equipment for applying the load and the equipment for measuring and displaying (if required) the structural responses. This chapter reviews the commonly used...book chapter 2019

de Wolf, W.J. (author), Korff, M. (author), van Seters, A. (author), van Dalen, J.H. (author)In the Observational method Ab Initio approach observational feedback is used to optimize a structural design to field conditions that are found to be uncertain in the design phase. As a deep excavation takes place, the supporting retaining wall deflections can be observed by inclinometers which serve as an extra source of information on the...conference paper 2021

Reinders, K.J. (author), van Leijen, F.J. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author), Korff, M. (author)This paper investigates the use of InSAR data during shield tunnel construction when short-term settlements occur within a few days. Additionally, the long-term settlement, which occur over several years, in the vicinity of these tunnels are evaluated with inSAR. The North-South Line in Amsterdam is used as a case study for this research. We...conference paper 2021

Broere, W. (author)The minimal support pressure needed at the tunnel face can be calculated using a wedge stability analysis. Current methods have been presented only for a homogeneous soil at the tunnel face. This Paper investigates the influence of heterogenity of the soil on the angle of slip and the minimal support pressure. It is found that the influence of...conference paper 1998

Mulders, FMM (author)Stress changes related to the depletion of gas reservoirs in the northern Netherlands can lead to small seismic events. Field data analysis makes it very likely that these events are the result of reactivation of existing faults or joints in or near the reservoirs.
