Method of physical and functional wear assessment in determining the quality condition of road bridges
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Introduction. Assessment of the qualitative condition of road bridges is a complex process that involves the analysis of physical and functional deterioration of structures. Physical deterioration is associated with deterioration of materials and loss of strength of elements, while functional deterioration is manifested in a decrease in the bearing capacity and deformability of the bridge. Problems. To determine the level of wear, a comprehensive method is used, including visual inspection, calculation estimates and experimental studies. In addition, a differentiated method is used, which allows comparing actual values with design values and drawing conclusions about the quality of individual elements and the structure as a whole. Objective. The expert method is an important addition to other methods of assessing the technical condition of bridges.
