ResumoThis work describes the experimental evaluation of the structural condition of a metallic runway beam located in a heavy industry facility. The study involved carrying out an ambient vibration test, aiming the identification of the modal parameters of the beam, in addition to a static test under the action of a transportation vehicle carrying heavy raw material. The static test was mainly focused on the measurement of deformations and displacements on critical sections of the beam. The results of both tests will be useful for the experimental calibration of the numerical model of the beam developed by the designers, which will provide support for the structural rehabilitation and strengthening of the runway beam.
