However, the development of new structures and technologies typically requires verification of their safety and reliability through relevant experiments.
[0006] The existing methods for continuous static load testing of bridge decks have the following main technical shortcomings:

[0034] Example: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the novel bridge deck continuous static load test device for small box girder bridges includes two symmetrically spaced precast beams 1, both inverted "L" shapes, a continuous structural layer 2 in the form of a plate set on the two precast beams 1, and reinforced concrete slabs set at both ends of the continuous structural layer 2.
[0035] The test apparatus includes supports 3 and spring supports 4 installed under two precast beams 1, and active force-adding rods 6 installed above each reinforced concrete slab in the continuous structural layer 2.
[0036] Two supports 3 are positioned near the opposite side of the two precast beams 1;
[0037] Two spring supports 4 are positioned near the opposite sides of the two precast beams 1, on the outside of the two supports 3, providing vertical elastic support to the corresponding precast beams 1 and allowing compressive deformation;
[0038] All active force-applying rods 6 are mounted below the upper crossbeam 71 of the gantry reaction frame 7 via adjustable brackets, and each is equipped with a pressure sensor.
[0039] In practical applications, this utility model achieves symmetrical loading of two reinforced concrete slabs through the active force-applying rod 6, that is, synchronous pressure is applied to the two reinforced concrete slabs near their ends, and concentrated loading of the continuous structural layer 2, that is, multi-condition loading work with pressure applied at the center of the continuous structural layer 2.
[0040] In some embodiments, each support 3 is located directly below the junction of the reinforced concrete slab and the continuous structural layer 2 on the corresponding side, and is composed of two or more rubber supports stacked together to simulate the stiffness of the original bridge support.
[0041] In practical applications, support 3 uses a structure composed of two or more rubber supports stacked together, allowing users to adjust the total height by changing the number of rubber supports.

[0043] In practical applications, the use of multiple arrays of helical springs 42 arranged between two support pads 41 to form a spring support 4 can prevent the continuous structural layer of the bridge deck from being stressed by the weight of the beam, while having sufficient elastic deformation to meet the loading conditions.
[0044] In some embodiments, each active lever 6 is a hydraulic jack.
[0045] In some embodiments, pads 5 are provided on the top of the continuous structural layer 2 and each reinforced concrete slab, corresponding to the positions of the active force-adding rods 6.
[0046] In some embodiments, a transverse limiting rod 8 and a corresponding limiting sensor are provided between the two columns 72 of the portal reaction frame 7;
[0047] Each precast beam 1 includes a cantilever portion 11 that is flush with the upper surface and extends toward another precast beam 1;
[0048] The lateral limit bar 8 is located between the two precast beams 1, directly below any cantilever 11. When any cantilever 11 moves downward and contacts the lateral limit bar 8, the limit sensor sends a signal.
[0049] The steps for using this utility model are as follows:
[0050] 1. Hoist the specimen onto support 3 and spring support 4. When in place, calibrate the height of the support point at the bottom of the beam to ensure that the compression of support 3 is consistent with the design value.
[0051] 2. Install and fix the lateral limit rod 8 to prevent out-of-plane instability of the component during installation and testing.
[0052] 3. Install the test loading system, including multiple active force-applying rods 6.
[0053] 4. Start the test. Apply vertical force through the active force-adding rod 6 according to the preset loading mode and load grading, and collect data such as component displacement and stress at the same time.
