Due to frequent accidental damage to prestressed concrete (P/C) bridges caused by impact from overheight vehicles, a project was initiated to evaluate the strength and load distribution characteristics of damaged P/C bridges. A comprehensive literature review was conducted. It was concluded that only a few references pertain to the assessment and repair of damaged P/C beams. No reference was found that involves testing of a damaged bridge(s) as well as the damaged beams following their removal. Structural testing of 2 damaged bridges was conducted in the field.Manual for Bridge Rating Through Load Testing. ... STAAD / Pro v. 2.0. Research Engineers, Inc., Yorba Linda, CA. Saiidi, M., Y.
