| Abstract: | In the past, static evaluation of solid bridges considered the effects of ship impact in approximation approaches including static dummy loads; earthquake load conditions were taken into account as an exception only. With the implementation of a new generation of standards, the DIN technical reports based on the European set of regulations, loads caused by earthquakes and ship impact have become much more important. Practical implementation of the effects of the new standards is demonstrated using several recent examples. | ||||
