Abstract:

Research on development of assessment procedures for existing bridges exposed to wind load will be presented in this paper. Both linear and the nonlinear methods are used and a probabilistic model of wind load is developed. The results were evaluated following the demands defined by current European design codes and specific location conditions. This procedure is validated by its application to major Adriatic arch bridges with spans ranging from 200 m to almost 400 m as a part of an extensive project to develop their appropriate maintenance strategy.
