Recommendation for pin/fastener testing of modular panel bridge

[D. Rojas]

Hi, grettings from Peru.

I'm actually trying to determine the ideal testing procedure to verify the reusability of a pin/fastener of modular panel bridges, as these type of bridges are temporally used. I've tried to find about fatigue shear testing but it seems to be very uncommon for these kind of elements.

Any reference will be really appreciated.

Do you know anything about he design?
In general these either would be designed to be lightly loaded (40%) and therefore have a very long re-use life.
Or they would be more heavily loaded and are not meant to ever be reused.
