1.1本规程建立了在实验室加载桥面测试模块的标准，用于现场桥面预期性能的静态和疲劳调查。 1.2对于结构系统、所用材料或两者中的任何实质性创新，都需要对桥面进行测试。 1.3当桥面与创新地板系统框架或首次使用的创新主要结构系统复合时，也需要对桥面进行测试。 1.4测试的具体目标可能是研究甲板中的应力分布、易疲劳的细节、磨损表面分层的可能性、抗冻融损伤性，或为生命周期评估提供实验数据。 1.5桥面测试应重复合法卡车轮胎施加的荷载。过去未能这样做可能会产生误导性信息。 专门设计用于证明特定设计的不一致测试方法无法以有序和一致的方式提高对桥面行为的认识。 1.6本标准无意解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。

1.1 This practice establishes a standard for loading bridge deck test modules, in the laboratory, for static and fatigue investigation of anticipated performance of bridge decks in the field. 1.2 Testing of bridge decks is required for any substantive innovation in the structural system, the material used, or both. 1.3 Testing of bridge decks also is required when the deck is composite with innovative floorsystem framing or with an innovative primary structural system proposed for use for the first time. 1.4 The specific objectives of the testing may be to study stress distribution in the deck, fatigue-prone details, wearing surface delamination potential, freeze-thaw damage resistance, or to provide experimental data for a life-cycle evaluation. 1.5 Testing of bridge decks should replicate the loading imposed by legal truck tires. Failure to do so in the past has produced possibly misleading information. Inconsistent test methodologies specially designed to justify a specific design cannot advance the knowledge of bridge deck behavior in an orderly and consistent manner. 1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
