The paper presents the results and conclusions of dynamic load tests that were conducted on a highway bridge over the Gimån River in Sweden made of Super Cor corrugated steel plates (CSP), the first bridge of this type in Scandinavia. The critical speed magnitudes, dynamic coefficients, velocity vibration, and vibration frequency are determined in the paper. Conclusions drawn from the tests can be most helpful in the assessment of the behaviour of this type of corrugated plate – soil bridge. In consideration of the application of this type of structure in the case of small-to-medium span bridges, the conclusions from this research cannot yet be generalized to all types of such solutions. The application details with respect to all types of such bridge structures would require additional analysis (field and model tests and calculations) on the other types of soil–steel bridges.

There are lots of theories and methods about condition assessment for highway bridge, and gradual perfection for normal-speed railway bridge, but only little for high-speed railway bridge, especially large-span and special structures. After studying on the contents, methods, theories and evaluation indexes of highway bridge and normal-speed railway bridge, combined with the characteristics of high-speed railway bridge, index system for high-speed railway bridge(medium and small span, large-span or special bridge structures) was conceived and discussed, which laid the foundation for the development of condition assessment of high-speed railway bridge.
