| Summary | The influence of existing bridge’s damage on its load-carrying capacity was examined. As analytic approach, several models in each condition (sound, shifting and damaged) were made and load-carrying capacities in each condition were calculated. On the other hand, the load-carrying capacities of damaged girders were also tested as experimental approach. |
