static load testing

Static load testing is a method used to evaluate how much weight or pressure a structure, such as a building or bridge, can safely support without actual physical strain. Instead of applying real loads, engineers analyze the design, materials, and construction through calculations and simulations. This process helps identify any weaknesses or potential failure points before the structure is built or used, ensuring safety and reliability. It’s an essential step in engineering to prevent accidents and extend the lifespan of a structure.
