Test loading(s); periodical assessment of serviceability

For steel fabrication and welding technology selection, a special research and testing program has been developed by Bocsa Romana, Metallurgical Research Institute in Bucharest and by Welding Institute in Timisoara.

During the progress of work, measurements of stresses and displacements for all construction phases and finally, the bridge testing have been carried out.

The bridge had a very good behaviour during its operation life, even during the earthquakes in 1977 and in 1990.
