This paper presents procedures and requirements for the assessment of existing railway bridges in Europe. The assessment procedures and requirements are the core part of the "Guideline for Load and Resistance Assessment of Existing European Railway Bridges - advices on the use of advanced methods"[1,2], recently developed within the European research project "Sustainable Bridges" (www.sustainablebridges.net). The first part of the paper introduces the step-level assessment methodology recommended in the guideline. The second part is dedicated to the safety requirements for existing railway bridges and gives guidance on the safety levels required for the assessment. Furthermore, it presents several safety formats characterized by different accuracy and complexity, which might be used at different level of assessment. |
