4. Static load tests On July 10 th , 2022, static load tests have been carried out on Dolo overpass, by using two 44-tons trucks. Three different series of tests were performed: 1. First series: the two trucks were positioned in an eccentric way (Fig. 4a) with respect to the mid-line of the bridge. In other words, both trucks were positioned on the vehicular lane from Noale to Dolo and were moving along the same lane/direction. 2. Second series: the two trucks were centered on the deck (Fig. 4b) and moving from Noale to Dolo. 3. Third series: similarly to the first series, the two trucks were positioned in an eccentric on the vehicular lane from Dolo to Noale and were moving along the same lane/direction.
