Description
The objective of this course is to present recent developments in load testing of existing concrete structures, with an emphasis on differences and similarities between monotonic and cyclic load testing. The presentations will highlight interesting load testing case studies, review lessons learned during testing, review the process of designing load tests, and provide information regarding best practices when load testing.

Learning Objectives
1. Describe how to administer the monotonic load test to evaluate strength of existing concrete structures.
2. Explain how to perform cyclic load test to evaluate strength of existing concrete structures.
3. Describe how to apply the acceptance criteria to monotonic load test and cyclic load tests to assess existing concrete structures.
4. Assess capacities of deteriorated concrete structures understanding reliability and variability of applied design loads and as-built member properties.
