Abstract
According to Slovenian regulations all road bridges with the span greater than 15 metres and railway bridges with span greater than 10 metres have to pass the loading test before opening. Some of them have to be periodically checked even through the construction stages. For all these constructions the comparison between the calculation and measurement results is very interesting. The improving of the mathematical model of construction on the basis of the measurement results can also serve as the tool for better understanding of the structure behaviour.
