Abstract:
The paper describes a probability-based concept for the evaluation of existing
bridges. Firstly the standard concept of the Live Load Rating Factor (LLRF) calculation is
presented. Secondly, the probability-based concept of the Traffic Load Rating Factor
(TLRF) calculation is described. The determination of TLRF is introduced in two
approaches. Both approaches enable to respect the main reliability differences between
evaluation of existing bridges and design of the new ones affecting the failure probability
level. Numerical applications are presented to demonstrate described approaches.
