The heritage of existing road infrastructures and in particular of bridges consists of structures
that are approaching or exceeding their designed service life. Detrimental causes such as …

This article aims to develop a hybrid approach of complementary ensemble empirical mode
decomposition (CEEMD) and random decrement technique (RDT) for identifying the modal …

Most of the existing engineering structures were built in the last century and have been in
service for decades. However, environmental degradation may lead to a reduction in …

This paper examines the use of the measured bending stiffness reduction of a prestressed
concrete bridge to evaluate its residual bearing capacity (RBC). To create a clear correlation …

The structural analysis of a 95-year-old concrete arch bridge located in Jagodnik (Poland) is
performed in this paper, in order to check its behavior under today's traffic loads. The …

In this paper, experiences on the development of an assessment method for existing bridges
are presented. The method is calibrated using the results of full-scale testing to failure of a …

Results are presented from the testing to failure of a 55-year-old prestressed concrete bridge
with five continuous spans and a total length of 121.5 m. The bridge was situated in Kiruna …
