In the frame of a contract between the Chilean National Highway Authority, APIA XXI IAC S.A. and the Universidad Austral de Chile, all bridges of the Los Rios Region have been inspected for structural, functional and durability damages or deficiencies. The total number of bridges inspected is 600 and includes 95 composite bridges, 98 reinforced and prestressed concrete bridges, 238 timber bridges, 168 hybrid timber-steel bridges and 1 steel bridge. The overall service conditions of the bridges are relatively low, mainly due to non-conformity with today’s standards. These defects often affect the traffic safety, which requires immediate repair actions. 88% of all bridges require inmediate or short-term repairs. Due to limited funding it is not possible to fulfil these demands at once. It is very important to implement a regular maintenance program in order to increase the level of service conditions. |
