Austin. He is in charge of field testing for IBAP and also involved in teaching and research activities. His research interests include bridge evaluation and maintenance and design by testing. Stéphane Corthay, born in 1967, holds a Civil Engineering degree from EPFL. He is involved in static and dynamic load testing of bridges. Summary The paper presents results obtained using a simple dynamic testing procedure frequently used in Switzerland for highway bridges. Typical results are shown and tendencies observed in the dynamic behavior of highway bridges are presented. For a deteriorated pavement, the dynamic impact of heavy vehicles is shown to be larger at lower truck speeds. Some correlation is shown between the dynamic properties of the...
