The use of finite element analysis in bridge assessment is presented as a refined method to assess the structural capacity of bridges and their components, as compared to the use of resistance expressions prescribed by structural design standards. Case studies of the application of the methodology presented in this paper to historical steel bridges are presented. The majority of structural components, which had previously been assessed insufficient against structural codes, were assessed with significantly improved capacities by employing advanced finite element analysis. The use of sophisticated analytical methods allowed a reduction in the scope of required strengthening works, eliminating them entirely in some cases. |
