AFF40 Dynamics and Field Testing of Bridges

This committee is concerned with the dynamics of bridges and the actual behavior of bridges in the field under load, including planning and encouragement of laboratory and field tests, non-destructive evaluation procedures to determine the responses of bridges to both static and dynamic forces (except seismic); development of analytical methods for use in planning and interpreting these tests; encouragement of field testing to obtain load strain histories; promotion of suitable procedures and instrumentation for testing; interpretation and evaluation of research results; coordination and dissemination of information; and a continuing review of literature and research related to this field.
