Risk-Based Design of Bridges

Bridges belong to critical elements of transport infrastructure. Therefore, it is necessary in the high- est extent to address all relevant risks (namely those that are related to ageing of fittings and com- ponents of technical facilities and with dynamic development of environment in time) in the prep- aration of the terms of references and in the design process. In order to design the bridges with these properties, it is not enough to respect only valid standards and norms and good practice, but they also need to be respected data on all possible risks and their combinations. For this it is neces- sary to use measures identified in the risk management plan for design, which specifies local condi- tions and possibilities. This paper shows model of procedure which combines norms and risk analy- sis results.
