Abstract:
A bridge can serve as a primary link between highways, railroads, crossroads, two river margins, and between mountains. The design, advancement, and global building of bridges are among the most fascinating and significant achievements in civil engineering. Bridges must be designed and built to be secure, effective, and cost-effective. Evaluation of the bridge structure is a topic that is becoming more and more important in the decision to address the deterioration of the bridge structure. To determine the actual strength of the bridge structure, its service life, and the real load scale, appropriate design and analysis procedures must be adopted. The main purpose of this study is to review the structural performance evaluation, damage inspection processes, different types of damages, static and dynamic analysis, and related studies to evaluate the structural performance of bridge structures.
