Original Abstract
Advanced methods of reliability analysis based on simulation techniques of Monte Carlo type in combination with nonlinear finite element method analysis represent effective tools for reliability assessment of the existing bridges. Knowledge of current level of load bearing capacity of the bridge and its development in the coming years while meeting the required level of reliability may help to schedule the bridge maintenance systematically and efficiently and/or it can facilitate decision-making on the manner and extent of its reconstruction. The paper briefly introduces the methodology of probabilistic determination of the load bearing capacity of bridges with respect to the ongoing deterioration processes in time. The methodology is applied to determine the current level of load bearing capacity of a reinforced concrete parapet beam bridge and for its estimation in the coming years until the end of the theoretical service life of the structure.
