Introduction

Core changes in the standard revision

Comparison dimensions 1998 version 2018 version
Scope of application Ordinary railway bridges Newly added high-speed railway simply supported beam bridges
Test method Displacement meter method only Added photoelectric imaging method and inclinometer method
Load specification Loading requirements are not specified Detailed static/dynamic load test load standards

Interpretation of key technical requirements

3.1 Deflection classification system

The standard divides vertical deflection into three categories:

  • Static deflection: measured when the train is stationary, reflecting the static response of the bridge
  • Quasi-static deflection (≤5km/h): used to separate dynamic effects
  • Dynamic deflection (>5km/h): a key indicator for evaluating dynamic performance

3.2 Key points of load control

Take a standard span beam of 32m as an example:

  1. The static load test needs to use a wheel load measuring instrument to verify the load, and the deviation must be <1cm
  2. The dynamic load test needs to be repeated 3 times at the same speed level, with a speed tolerance of ±3km/h
  3. Synchronous loading is recommended for double-track bridges to simulate actual operating conditions


Test Method Implementation Guide

4.1 Displacement Meter Method Operation Specifications

Parameters Technical Requirements
Instrument Selection Resolution ≤ 0.01mm, frequency response ≥ 15Hz
Environmental Control Testing needs to be terminated when wind speed affects wire stability
Data Correction The average displacement of the support needs to be deducted (Appendix A)

4.3 Innovative application of the inclinometer method

Fitting the deflection curve through more than 5 cross-sectional rotation angle values is particularly suitable for:

  • Deformation monitoring of large-span beams
  • Scenarios where displacement meters cannot be installed in confined spaces


Project implementation suggestions

  1. Measurement point optimization: Refer to Appendix A for differentiated arrangements for different beam types (box beam/T beam/combined beam)
  2. Data filtering: For beams with a span of ≥24m, it is recommended to use a 0.5Hz low-pass filter to extract the center trajectory
  3. Quality control: System calibration must be completed before dynamic load testing, and the sampling time must cover the complete dynamic response
