Abstract:

In order to achieve a fast and reliable determination of the load-bearing capacity of existing bridges while in missions abroad, a system to classify bridges was developed. Generally, no building documents are available in such a case. The assessment system works on two different levels of accuracy: a quick assessment only with geometric input values, and a structural analysis which requires additional material properties. If the generated military load class from the quick assessment is insufficient, a more accurate classification based on structural analysis is carried out.
