| Abstract: |
The fact that a number of reinforced concrete bridges fail assessment to full design live load and yet do not display any signs of distress, suggests that there are reserves of strength that are not taken into account in the normal assessment process. There are other analytical methods available that can prove that bridge isn’t failing. |
