Abstract
The assessment of bridge load-carrying capacity is a critical element of infrastructure safety and sustainability. Traditional methods such as Static Load Testing (SLT) have been widely implemented, but dynamic methods (Dynamic Load Testing, DLT) are gaining traction due to their ability to detect subtle structural changes in real time. This review summarizes and compares the theoretical and experimental advances in static and dynamic bridge load assessment. Key methodologies, instrumentation techniques, and numerical modeling tools such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, and MIDAS Civil are evaluated. The integration of both static and dynamic data for structural health monitoring and model validation is emphasized as a future-oriented approach for effective bridge evaluation.
