SS 25: Vulnerability assessment and retrofit of in-service bridges: contributions and experiences

In-service bridges are recognized as critical components of the transportation infrastructure being for the most part in operation for many years (degradation, outdated regulations, operating conditions other than design ones, e.g. vehicles an effects of climate change). Hence the importance of assessing their vulnerability of existing bridges in order to identify critical situations where allocate available resources. In this context, an intervention prioritization strategy and the development of innovative retrofitting techniques assume strategic importance, as well as the implementation of innovative SHM solutions. This session is organized under the auspices of FABRE (www.consorziofabre.it).
