Service load capacity of reinforced concrete rebuilt bridges
Published: 2014-12-07
Abstract
The calculation method for bridges which are rebuilt (or to be rebuilt) is given. It was assumed that a bridge is old, built under previous standards and there is a lack of any documentation. The main data are dimensions of structure and previous standard regulations. Degradation of structural material, strengthening of elements and previous dead load modification arÄ™ taken into account. As an example of this method, parametric analysis of service (real, applied) load capacity of reinforced concrete bridges is performed.
