Abstract
The paper gives an overview of Finnish bridges, their
conditions and methods to estimate the condition using
loading tests and monitoring. The measured data from
bridge loading tests and afterward from monitored data
have been transferred to laboratory for detail analyzing.
The analysis also includes Finite Element model about the
bridge, which have been used to simulate the loading
tests and also to calculate possible failure modes for
the bridge. By analyzing methods heavy vehicles crossing
the bridge are possible to find out and calculate the
speeds and weights and also define the life age of welded
connections. The bridge loading tests are introduced as a
part of whole bridge management system and also part of
whole infra management system
