Loading plates, construction tools, piers and posters are not included in the bridge weight.
3.4 Deflection
Deflection is measured at the span center. The deflection is recorded at 30 seconds after all the weight loads are applied. Deflection value is recorded by the average of two records in the transverse direction.
3.5 Clearance
Clearance is checked by measuring the distance from the ground to the lowest part of the bridge. (Fig.3.3)
