    • Practical considerations regarding results from static and dynamic load testing of bridges 

      Olaszek, Piotr; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon (2019-02)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Bridge tests are a helpful tool for bridge assessment and evaluation. Both in the case of a static and dynamic load testing, each element of the test: the load selection and application, the creation of a numerical model ...
    • Proof load testing supported by acoustic emission: an example of application 

      Olaszek, Piotr; Swit, Gor; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon (CRC Press, 2010)
