Abstract:

In 1997, the government of Brazil implemented a program of privatizations and concessions of highways.

Each concession is responsible for the maintenance of the existing bridges in the stretches of granted highways.

This work presents a synthesis of the inspections carried through in about 1.200 (one thousand and, two hundred) bridges with the intention of registering their evidenced anomalies graphically and photographically.

The registration of the anomalies in bridges has another basic purpose: - to guide the projects of new bridges, becoming them more durable and significantly reducing the so scarce costs of maintenance in our country
