2、usage of Queensland FRWs is ongoing at the Queensland University of Technology, Australia. A demonstration bridge consisting of the FRW deck and reinforced concrete slab (RCS) pavement was constructed within the Rockham

3、pton Regional Council (RRC) jurisdiction, Queensland. The serviceability limit states of the FRW-RCS composite deck system is critical as the FRW has had a history of service load cycles as a rail freight wagon whilst th

4、e RCS is a cast-in-situ new component. As the bridge is situated in low volume traffic roads networks in RRC (Fact Sheet, 2010), fatigue was not considered. The bridge was tested for its performance. Performance load te

5、sts are generally carried out using pre-determined smaller loads that are well below the ultimate load level and hence are low-risk; smaller trucks loaded with aggregate/sand are generally used. These tests are a class o

6、f non-destructive testing and provide insight into the bridge response to the applied loads (Chajes et al. 2000 and Ryall, 2010) and the data may also be used to assess the design load behaviour using calibrated analytic

7、al/ numerical models (Richard et al. 2010). Such tests are performed on the ageing bridges that are in service (Saraf and Nowak, 1998); tests are also carried out on newly constructed bridges that incorporate novel const
