Load Tests of the Movable Footbridge Over the Port Canal in Ustka

The paper presents the acceptance tests carried out on the open footbridge over the port canal in the Port of Ustka. The steel footbridge construction is created by a single pylon to which a movable truss span is suspended with a theoretical span of 52.3 m. The studies about load test of the object included static and dynamic extortion and measurements. In static tests the ballast was of pallets with concrete blocks. Dynamic studies were carried out by extortions induced by a group of pedestrians in various combinations. Structural behavior was recorded using geodetic techniques - displacement and settlement of supports, strain gages - strain and force in lines and accelerometers - acceleration. The measured parameters were consistent with the theoretical values. Tests ended with a positive result that allows putting the footbridge in use with the design assumptions.
